Levers are force multipliers so the effort, the imput force, can produce a larger force on the load. Levers use moments to work. M=Fxd
Here's an example:
You use a force of 5N to lift a load. The lever causes your hand to be 1m away from the pivot of the lever. The moment is 5Nm.
The load is 0.2m from the pivot. Rearrange the equation and you should find:
F=M/d --> F=5/0.2=25N
Hope this helped!

A lever works on the principle of using torque. A screw driver is used as a lever because the relatively broader handle produces much more torque for the same force as compared to the narrower blade of the screw driver.
How does lever simplify work explain?
A lever works by reducing the amount of force needed to move an object or lift a load. A lever does this by increasing the distance through which the force acts . Lever neither increases or decreases the amount of total effort necessary . Instead , they make the work easier and simpler.

I had trouble too. If it's like mine, there is a black plastic key on the underside of the start lever box .
