multiply or transfer the force.

Types of levers
When l1<l2 (mechanical advantage<1)
When l1=l2 ( mechanical advantage=1)
When l1>l2 ( mechanical advantage>1)
The Ratio l1/l2 is called the ‘leverage’
Design of levers
• Lever is easy compared with the design of other
machine elements.
• The length of the lever is decided on the basis of
leverage required to exert a given load F by means of
an effort P.
• The cross section of lever is designed on the basis of
bending stress.
Design of levers
• Step 1: Force analysis:- The effort required to
produce the force is calculated by taking moments
about the fulcrum
• R is the reaction at the fulcrum pin. Since the sum of vertical
forces acting on the lever must be equal to zero
R=F+P
Design of levers
Second type:-In this type of lever force F(Load) and
P(Effort) act in opposite direction.

R F P

Design of levers
• If forces F and P act along lines that are inclined to
one another.
• In such cases, l1 is the perpendicular distance from
the fulcrum to line of action of the force P.
• Similarly, l2 is the perpendicular distance from fulcrum
to the line of action of force F.
Design of levers
Rule from static apply to the reaction R at the fulcrum:
(i) Magnitude of reaction R is equal to the resultant of
load F and effort P. It is determined by the
parallelogram law of forces.
(ii) The line of action of the reaction R passes through
intersection of P and F., i.e the point O and also
through fulcrum
