A lever is a rod that pivots around a point. When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will move in the direction of the force is applied. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move things that 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.
