Levers

A lever is a rigid bar that turns around the fulcrum. Each force produce Torque.

Torque=FxD

Classes of levers
Class 1: The fulcrum is between the force and the resistance
Class 2: The resistant is between the fulcrum and the force
Class 3: The force is between the fulcrum and the resistance

Brake levers
Bicycle brakes decrease speed. we control them with levers on the handlebar.

PULLEYS AND COMPOUND PULLEY SYSTEMS

In a system of pulleys the equilibrium between the forces depends on the path that the rope follows. PULLEYS: FIXED PULLEY :  Has an axle mounted in bearings attached to a supporting structure. A fixed pulley changes the direction of the force on a rope or belt that moves along its circumference.  F: R MOVEABLE PULLEY:   Has an axle in a movable block. A single movable pulley is supported by two parts of the same rope and has a mechanical advantage of two. F: R/2
