Law of Lever

lever torque

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, lbf)

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, lbfft)
