What is the principle of lever?

Principle of the Lever. It has been found by experiment that two equal forces acting in opposite directions, i.e., clockwise and counterclockwise, and applied to a uniformlever at equal distances from the fulcrum counteract each other and establish astate of equilibrium, or balance, in the lever.

What is a simple machine example?

Simple machines that are widely used include the wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, screw, wedge and lever. While simple machines may magnify or reduce the forces that can be applied to them, they do not change the total amount of work needed to perform the overall task.
