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 fulcrum 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.
