The force a lever can apply to a given point greatly depends on two distances:
The distance from the pivot point to the object to be lifted and the distance from the pivot point to the point on the lever where force will be applied.
To reduce the distance from the pivot-point to the point where Force is applied is to reduce the "force" of a lever.

How does a movable pulley reduce the input force needed to lift a weights?
a lever
How does a screw reduce effort force?
A screw multiplies effort through the principle of the lever. The screw part of the fastener is actually a small lever that allows the screw to bite and dig into other materials.
Which class of lever does not multiply input force?
The first class lever (force, fulcrum, load) doesn't change the force if the lever is symetrical. Note that if it is assymetrical, the force will change.
The push or pull on a lever is called what?
it is called a force
What is The force that you exert on a lever called?
The force that you exert on a lever can be called the effort force. The lever has three parts. They are: the fulcrum, the load, and the effort force. This can also be classified as the input force. The force that you exert to perform a task is known as the input force.

a lever
What is the function of the lever?
A lever can rotate around the fixed point that is called a pivot. Levers are used to reduce the force need to do a particular task.
What is the definition of a load of a lever?
Load = the force of the weight of the lever fulcrum = the point of which the lever rests effort = the force you apply to the lever
What is the definition of a load in a lever?
Load = the force of the weight of the lever fulcrum = the point of which the lever rests effort = the force you apply to the lever
What is the output force of a lever?
Force the lever will apply to the load being lifted.

A screw multiplies effort through the principle of the lever. The screw part of the fastener is actually a small lever that allows the screw to bite and dig into other materials.

What force does a lever overcome?
a lever is overcome by Inertia.
If the input force is between the fulcrum and the output force what kind of lever is it?
first class lever
What kind of lever is a seesaw?
yes it is a 1st class lever and so is a pair of pliers!!!!
