Lever

        Levers are some of the most important machines going. They’ve been around for thousands of years. By describing it, it has a bar that moves. It also has fulcrum that stays in place. Force is put on one side. It lifts or moves loads. Some examples are a fork a pair of scissors, shovel, nutcracker, seesaw, crowbar, elbow, tweezers, bottle opener, and a little handle that flushes your toilet. Any one can use these for work or to have fun. If you want to know more about levers ask us a question.
Sincerely,
