The hammer or crowbar is applying force to extract the nail, and is opposed by the friction between the board and the outside surface of the nail.
If you are pulling a nail out of wood, you are using a lever as a simple machine. By applying force to one end of the lever (the nail), you are able to lift the nail out of the wood using the principle of torque.
The main forces that affect a picture hanging on a nail on a wall are gravity pulling the picture downwards, tension in the nail supporting the weight of the picture, and the frictional force between the picture frame and the wall that keeps it from sliding.
The input force is the force applied by the person using the hammer to pull the nail. The output force is the force exerted by the hammer on the nail to pull it out of the board. The output distance is the distance the nail moves as it is being pulled out of the board.
Using a crowbar applies leverage, making it easier to increase the force applied to the nail. This increased force helps to break the nail's bond with the surface it is stuck in, allowing for easier removal compared to using just hands.
A hammer pulling a nail out is an example of a lever because the hammer acts as the lever, the nail acts as the fulcrum, and the force applied by our hand is the effort. When we apply force to the handle of the hammer, it creates a turning effect that lifts the nail from the surface, similar to how a lever functions.

The force of the hammer is much greater than the force of the nail. Gravity pulls down the hammer, hits the nail, and the nail forces up, but the force of gravity wins over the force pulling on the nail.

Friction between the surfaces of the nail and wood block creates resistance to movement, preventing the nail from being easily pulled out. The frictional force acts in the opposite direction of the external force trying to displace the nail, helping to keep it in place in the wood block.
Friction acts in the opposite direction of the pulling force you exert on the nail. As you try to pull the nail out of the wood block, friction between the nail and the wood acts in the direction that opposes the motion, making it harder to pull the nail out.
The effort force is applied by the person using the hammer to pull the nail out. The person exerts force on the hammer which transfers the force to the nail, causing it to be pulled out of the surface.
It is a lever.
The fulcrum is the point of support on the crowbar where it pivots as you apply force to lift the nail. It acts as the lever point to help you pry up the nail using less force.
The best technique for using a nail driver effectively and efficiently is to hold the nail driver firmly with one hand and strike the head of the nail driver with a hammer using controlled and precise force. This will help drive the nail into the material smoothly and without damaging it.
