Definition of lever – Fulcrum, Effort Arm, Load Arm
A lever is a simple machine which is basically a rigid rod which can rotate on a point on itself. That point or pivot is called Fulcrum (F). A lever is used to lift a load (L) by applying a force or effort (E).
Effort Arm: The length between Effort and Fulcrum = EA
Load Arm: the length between Load and Fulcrum = LA
Types of levers
On the basis of the location of fulcrum, load and effort, the lever is divided into 3 types.
