Roughly speaking, work = force x distance (the actual definition is a bit more complicated).If you apply 1000 newton over a distance of 1 meter, that involves "work", as defined in physics, of 1000 joules. With a lever, you might apply a lesser force, say, 100 newton, but over a larger distance, in this case, 10 meters. In this case, the product (100 meters x 10 newton) is still 1000 joules.
