Mach's Lever

Mach's Lever is a simple device that amplifies force using a fulcrum and a long arm, allowing a small effort to move a heavier load. When you apply effort at one end, the lever pivots around the fulcrum (the pivot point), transferring force to the load at the other end. The longer the effort arm compared to the load arm, the less effort needed to lift or move the object. It illustrates fundamental principles of leverage and force multiplication, showcasing how rigid structural elements can be used efficiently to achieve mechanical advantage for various tasks.
