A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will move in the direction of the force is applied. This rotation multiplies your force and lets you lift or move things that normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum to the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever is able to move. This is called the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever, the larger the mechanical advantage.
