How can you use a lever to lift a rock?

By placing the lever under the rock while still balancing on the fulcrum and pressing on the other end


How do you use a lever?

It is used to lift a heavy object. Place the end of the lever under the rock. Then move a fulcrum (for example a small rock) under the lever close to where it goes under the rock. By moving your end of the lever a lot, you can make the shorter end move a little and lift a heavy weight.

It is 7.5


What changes when a lever is used to lift a rock instead of lifting it by hand?

The mechanical advantage changes. The proportion of needed effort in relation to the rock's weight changes.


What to try next if the first time set up your lever the rock budges slightly but you can't quite lift it enough to make it roll to one side where you want it?

A longer lever or the same lever with the fulcrum nearer the object.
