A crowbar is a lever because it has a fixed fulcrum (the pivot point) that allows it to lift or move heavy objects by applying force at one end. It is not considered a pulley, which uses a wheel and rope to lift objects by changing the direction of the force applied.

There are six simple machines: lever, wheel and axle, pulley, screw,wedge, and inclined plane. See the related link for descriptions and examples of each of these machines. A crowbar is an example of a lever.

Is a crowbar a lever or a fulcrum?

A crowbar is a Class 1 lever (fulcrum or pivot in the middle) The trick to remembering which type is which is: FRE 123. If F the fulcrum is in the middle it's Class 1, if the Resistance (or load is in the middle (a wheelbarrow) it's Class 2 and if the Effort is in the middle (tweezers) it's Class 3.It's a class 1 lever because the curve part of the crowbar (the fulcrum) is in between the effort, at the end of the crowbar where your hands are, and the load side, the short side that pry's the thing open.
