Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply a force to the end of the lever it will tend to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the force applied. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move objects that would normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage.
