What is the fulcrum?
FULCRUMA fulcrum is the support point for a lever used to raise or lower something. Basically, THE POINT AROUND WHICH A LEVER MOVES, IS CALLED FULCRUM. An easy way to understa…nd what a fulcrum means is the point in which the sea saw is supported by and an old scale. In general terms, a fulcrum is the support or pivot point for a mechanical lever.

How do you describe a fulcrum?
A fulcrum is the point around which a balanced beam rotates. The two arms of the beam need not be equal. It is sufficient that the kg metres on one end equal the kg metres o…n the other end. It is in this use that it is often used as a lever to move heavy weights. (MORE)

What does a fulcrum do?
It's the "immovable" point around which a lever operates. (In practice it's a reference point.)

What does the fulcrum do?
It is a lever used to pick up stuff when one end is put underneath an object and the other end is pushed down, exerting opposite force on the other side, pushing the other end… up. (MORE)

What are fulcrums?
A fulcrum is the turning point of a lever i.e. The hinge on a door. It is essential to know when learning about the law of the lever i.e. The distance from the fulcr…um X force applied on the right hand side = The distance from the fulcrum X force applied on the left hand side. IF the lever is balanced. This can also be written as anticlockwise moments = clockwise moments. (MORE)

What do fulcrums help?
A fulcrum is the point of tuning for a lever. Since a fulcrum is essential for a lever, it does not help but rather is needed. The lever and fulcrum are used to move or hold o…bjects. Levers can be used change the amount of force needed to alter a system of load, lever, and effort. The position of the fulcrum determines the force needed to change the natural equilibrium. There are three classes of levers divided in accordance to the position of the fulcrum. The first class of lever is typically used in a gravitational field with a load at one end of the lever, the fulcrum closer to the load than the middle of the lever, and a force applied near the other end of the lever. The important point is that the fulcrum is between the two forces and on the opposite side. If the lever is longer on the force side, the force needed to move the load is less than the weight of the load, but the load travels a smaller distance than the applied force point moves. This would be used possibly to lift an heavy object. By placing the fulcrum close to the point of force, the load moves farther than the applying force. This can be demonstrated by observing a trebuchet (commonly referred to as a catapult) The second class of lever places the load and the force on the same side of the fulcrum with the load closer to the fulcrum than the applied force. An example of this is the wheelbarrow. Again, the force needed to lift the load is less than the weight of the load. The third class of lever places the force between the fulcrum and the load. Examples of uses for this are chopsticks or ice tongs. (MORE)

What is the fulcrum used to?
Used in conjunction with a lever, the fulcrum is used to lift or move heavy objects. Unless you mean 'the teeter-totter'...
