Where is the fulcrum in a tin opener?

In a tin opener, the fulcrum is typically located at the pivot point where the lever arm of the can opener meets the body or handle. This pivot allows the lever to rotate, enabling the cutting wheel to puncture and cut through the metal lid of the tin can. By applying force on the handle, the user creates leverage around this fulcrum to open the can efficiently.
