Introduction

Motion cannot occur unless there is force behind it.Motion includes many levers, torque, and pulleys that all exist as force is applied.The study of physical action of forces is called mechanics.

Levers

A lever is defined as a rigid bar that turns around an axis of rotation. An axis is the point of rotation around which the lever moves. The lever rotates around the axis as a result of the force.
