A stiff rod that rotates around a pivot point is called a lever. It is a type of simple machine that is used to help move a heavy or firmly fixed load.

What is made up of a stiff bar that moves freely on a fixed point?

A pendulum is made up of a stiff bar that moves freely on a fixed point. The bar is attached to a pivot point and swings back and forth due to gravity acting upon it. Pendulums are commonly used in clocks and scientific experiments to measure time or gravity.

What is the lever system?

Next to the wedge, the lever is the simplest tool used by mankind. In its basic form, a single lever is stiff straight rod that rests on a pivot point called a fulcrum. The length of the rod is L, its length from one end of the rod to the pivot point is l; so the length from the pivot point to the opposite end is L - l. We can show that F = f (l/(L - l)) increases the input force f to F > f when (l/(L - l)) > 1.0. The ratio (l/(L - l)) is called the mechanical advantage of the lever. EX: If L = 10 and l = 9, then 9/(10 - 9) = 9 is the mechanical advantage. So that F = 9f would be the result.
