Simple lever with weight between fulcrum and lifting force equations and calculators.

Simple lever with weight between fulcrum and lifting force.

F = W l / L


L = W a / ( W - F )


W = F L / l


l = F a / ( W - F )


Where:

F = Force ( lbs, N)
W = Weight ( lbs, N)
L = Overall Length (in, m)
l = Distance (in, m)
a - Distance (in, m)
