Levers are used in everyday life. The force is a lot to do with pivots and moments e.g. a wheelbarrow- the effort force pushes down on the handle (lever) the load is pulled down by gravity and the pivot is the front wheel.

So a lever changes force by the chemical energy in your muscles aiding or fighting gravity.

Work is force times distance. A lever will increase force, at the cost of distance, or it will increase distance, at the cost of force. Each of these is inversely proportional, so the net force times distance is the same. Said in other words, a lever cannot add to or subtract from work - work is the same in all cases.

By moving a larger distance, to translate to a shorter distance moved.

Work = distance x force. The same work is done but requires less effort, because the working end only moves a short distance.

ideal force calculations are based only on lever lengths.

Applied force x distance to fulcrum = Output force x its distance from the fulcrum

Sometimes. There are 3 'classes' of levers, some change the direction of force and some do not.

Does the law of applied forces state that a body's change in mass is proportional to the amount of force applied to it?

No, the law of applied forces does not state that a body's change in mass is proportional to the amount of force applied to it. The law of applied forces states that the force applied to a body is equal to the mass of the body multiplied by the acceleration of the body. So, if the acceleration of a body increases, the force applied to it will also increase, but the mass of the body will remain the same.
