Formula

To calculate the Pivot Force (\(PF\)):

\[ PF = LF + EF \]

What is a Pivot Force?

A pivot force is the total force acting at the pivot point of a lever at equilibrium due to the effort and lever forces.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PF = 50 + 30 = 80 \text{ N} \]

The pivot force is 80 N.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ PF = 100 + 50 = 150 \text{ N} \]

The pivot force is 150 N.
