This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever gets extended. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point where you’re applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the point at which you are applying the force. the lever.Levers can also have a variety of effects based on the way in which forces are applied.
