Aim:
To understand how the three types of levers work and appreciate the
advantages/disadvantages of each one.

MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Levers are…
• Simple machines that help us apply force.
• Rigid structures, hinged at some part with forces applied at two other points.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
We have levers within our body, and also use them externally for many different
reasons.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
All levers have three parts:
• Fulcrum • Resistance
• Effort
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Fulcrum
The pivot point.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Resistance (or load)
The weight that needs to be moved.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Effort
The force that is applied to move the resistance (or load).
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Levers perform two main functions:
To increase the resistance
(or force) that can be moved with a given effort e.g. a crowbar.
To increase the velocity at
which an object will move with a
given force. E.g. A golf club.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
FUNCTIONS of Levers
There are 3 classes of levers.
Each is structured in a different manner and has different
advantages.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
CLASSES of Levers
The fulcrum lies between the effort and the resistance.

Pulling an oar in a row boat.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Second Class Levers
The resistance lies between the fulcrum and the point of effort.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Second Class Levers
The movement of the foot when walking.
(the calf muscle provides the effort and the ball of the foot is the pivot)

POLYTECHNIC,A'BAD
Swinging a bat to hit a ball.
Principle of Levers
Application
Long levers
provide amplified power at the expense of speed of movement of the object being
moved.
Examples: – Using a jack to lift a crashed car.– Using a knife to get the lid off a tin.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Application
Short leversprovide speed
at the expense of power
Example: Levers designed to accelerate objects include:- Most body limbs used for throwing or
kicking because the muscle inserts near the pivot point.
MISSAM RAZA Dept. -Mechanical LJ Polytechnic
Principle of Levers
Application
• Can you think of sporting examples where there are longer and shorter levers?
• What happens to the effectiveness of a lever if the fulcrum is moved closer or further away from the load?
