Law of Lever

The Law of Lever is a torque balance on a stationary object and can be expressed as

F₁ / F₂ = L₂ / L₁ (1)

where

F = force (N, lb_f)

L = distance from the point (1 or 2) to the force vector (m, ft)

(1) can be transformed to

F₁ L₁ = F₂ L₂ (1b)

or

T₁ = T₂ (1c)

where

T = torque or moment (Nm, lb_fft)
