उत्तर
A lever is a special case of the application of the law of moments. It is a rigid bar, straight or bent, which is capable of rotation about a fixed point or a fixed-line, called the axis of rotation. This fixed point or the axis of rotation is called the fulcrum. An effort E is applied at point A of the lever to overcome resistance (or load) at another point B, as shown in the diagram.
