What happens here
The video begins by demonstrating a lever in action. A claw hammer is used to remove a nail from a wooden stud. The head of the hammer acts as the fulcrum (pivot point), the handle provides the effort (input force), and the claw applies the force to the nail, which is the load (output force). This illustrates how a lever amplifies force to make it easier to pull out a stubborn nail.
Goal: Demonstrate the mechanical advantage of a lever.
