Considered as a lever, the fulcrumis at the common axis, while the arms of the lever are the radii of the wheel and of the axle.
If I should place the fulcrum B so that it would be in the middle between the ends A C, there would be what is termed an equilibrium between the weight and the power, and if they are equal there will be a perfect balance maintained.
The two portions, A and B, are held together by a rod in a similar manner to the square kites, and the cord or fulcrum is fastened to the rod at R.
Rule: The power required is to the weight as the distance of the weight from the fulcrum is to the distance of the power from the fulcrum.
The fulcrum is the fixed point on which the lever rests when in use.
The weight thrown on the lever by the man at O, raises the stone so that it can be blocked up, the lever and fulcrum arranged for another lift, and the process repeated.
In any form of lever there are only three things to be considered: the point where the weight rests, the point where the force acts, and the point called the fulcrum about which the rod rotates.
If the load is halfway from the fulcrum to the man's hands, the man will have to lift with a force equal to one half the load.
For example, the fulcrum is sometimes at one end, the force at the opposite end, and the weight to be lifted between them.
If the load is one fourth as far from the fulcrum as the man's hands, he will need to lift with a force only one fourth as great as that of the load.
The fulcrum is at the wheel, the force is at the handles, the weight is on the wheelbarrow.
Sex is the fulcrum upon which our life-activities turn.
The scientific mystic, like Archimedes, believes that in order to measure the purpose of external creation, he must "base hisfulcrum somewhere beyond.

It remained for the South of Italy to complete the work, and to supply the fulcrum needed for the first true effort of modern science.
Remove the bolt nuts I allowing the fulcrum plates R to be taken off.
On the separable hub pattern the clamping bolts must be taken out before fulcrum plate is removed.
In addition to these, O stands for the fulcrum on which it turns.
Note: two arrangements of weight, fulcrum and effort are possible.
He is credited with having summed up his estimate of the capabilities of the lever with the well-known expression, "Give me a fulcrum on which to rest or a place on which to stand, and I will move the earth.
From all his studies and experiments he finally formulated the principle that "bodies will be in equilibrio when their distance from the fulcrum or point of support is inversely as their weight.
For if the lever be employed in like manner, the action in separating two moveable bodies will be just double that of its ordinary action where the fulcrum is absolutely fixed.
This fulcrum rests on a firm and heavy wooden stand, G H.
The summit of the tripod becomes the fulcrum of a lever of the first order which is able to balance freely in a vertical plane.
You have heard of Archimedes, William--the man who said he could make a lever big enough to move the world, if he could only get a fulcrum to rest it on.

What a fulcrum Agamenticus would have made for the lever of Archimedes!
The weighing platform rests upon knife edges carried by primary levers of the weighing apparatus, the fulcrum being on the bed of the machine, and any pressure upon it is directly transmitted through a series of levers to the weighing beam.
Michelet showed in La Sorcière, from which this extract is taken, as well as in many other writings, that he fully understood the fulcrum of priestcraft and the secret of superstition.

Fur the first time in his life he was possessed with a good longing--namely, for his son; a fulcrum was at length established which might support leverage for his uplifting.
In all these cases power is gained in proportion as the distance from the fulcrum to the power, or part where the men apply their strength, is greater than the distance from the fulcrum to that end under the stone or weight.
In the third kind of lever, the fulcrum is again at one of the extremities, the weight or resistance at the other; and it is now the power which is applied between the fulcrum and resistance.
In the lever of the second kind, the resistance or weight is between the fulcrum and the power.
That portion of it which is contained between the fulcrum and the power, is called the acting part or arm of the lever; and that part which is between the fulcrum and resistance, its resisting part or arm.
In the lever of the first kind, the fulcrum is placed between the power and the resistance.
