    Why does a Lever arm magnify force?

    Well, if work(energy) is force x distance. We know that every force has an equal and opposite counterpart so the opposite of this work always exists. Where a force is doing work, energy is conserved. I hope

    Why does a Lever arm magnify force?

    actually, I think I've been able to clarify it as the larger lever arm allowing a greater acceleration with less force.

    Why does a Lever arm magnify force?

    hmmm, So in the sense of loosening a nut with a wrench. The same force being applied with a greater lever arm is a lot easier. How would you explain this? Maybe without using torque? just in terms of linear motion equations would be helpful.

    Thanks for your replies. Very helpful.

    Why does a Lever arm magnify force?

    Hey, I'm looking for an explanation of the why we observe T = F * d In the sense of two people applying a force to a lever arm and the person closer to the pivot point requiring more force to keep the torque in equilibrium. I can only find explanations in the sense of work and energy...
