What is the Principle of the Lever in Physics

Principle of the Lever

 

In the lever the moment P acts opposite to that of work W. It means that force F tends to rotate the lever in one direction which the weight W rotates in opposite direction. If the magnitude of these moments acting in opposite direction is equal, then the lever will be in equilibrium. It means that:

 

Moment of P = Moment of W

 

Mechanical Advantage:

 

We know that according to Principle of Lever:

 

Moment of P = Moment of W

 

Force * Force Arm = Weight * Weight Arm

 

P * AB = WX BC

 

AB/BC = W/P

 

Hence,

MA = W/P = AB/BC = Weight Arm/ Force Arm

 

Note: The main difference between foreign education is that the educational programs are clearly profiled in the specialties that are currently needed. Here you do not give a little knowledge about everything, after graduating you will be in a particular field of activity. In foreign universities, special emphasis is placed on such disciplines as tourism business, hotel management, finance, business administration, whereas in our country for these disciplines has not yet developed an impressive base. The program of education abroad is built in such a way as to give maximum practical skills, not theory, and is based on modern developments. Universities actively cooperate with large business companies, invite specialists as consultants and teachers. There is one more plus education abroad – it is an opportunity to study at two faculties in several specialties, eventually obtaining two documents that give the opportunity to apply their knowledge in different fields. And every year the number of such “multidisciplinary” faculties is growing.
