torque
In a lever, the product of effort and effort arm is called Moment of effort and product of load and load arm is called Moment of load. In general case, as asked in the question, "The Product of force and lever-arm distance is called Moment of Force"the Moment of Force isn't correct its {Torque}
Because the output distance is always greaterthan the input distance,and the product of (force) x (distance) is nearly the same on both ends.
Because the output distance is always greaterthan the input distance,and the product of (force) x (distance) is nearly the same on both ends.
The force a lever can apply to a given point greatly depends on two distances:The distance from the pivot point to the object to be lifted and the distance from the pivot point to the point on the lever where force will be applied.To reduce the distance from the pivot-point to the point where Force is applied is to reduce the "force" of a lever.
A lever is a simple machine that allows mechanical force to be exerted using a varying distance. Typically, the lever allows the use of a smaller force across a greater distance in the place of a larger force over a smaller distance.

Work = (force) times (distance) The forces on the two ends of the lever are different, and so are the distances that the ends of the lever move through. But they're different in exactly the right way so that their product (force x distance) is the same on both ends, and the work is that product.

it is called a force
Well, i'd say its both. depends on the case to specify when it is a force multiplier or a distance multiplier.
A lever is a simple machine that uses variable distance to multiply force, or to redirect existing forces. With a lever, the force exerted by gravity on a weight can be used to lift another weight. By varying the distance between a lever's ends and its fulcrum, a heavy object can be lifted a short distance by a smaller force moving a longer distance.
a factory lever
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.
