More About fulcrum
A long time ago, people used levers to lift heavy rocks. They found that a point to turn made it easy. This point is called a fulcrum. It helps us lift things with less strength.
We see fulcrums in our lives. They are in seesaws, wheelbarrows, and even in doors. They help us move things with ease. Without fulcrums, lifting would be hard.
Fun fact: Archimedes, a smart man, said he could lift the world with a fulcrum! It shows how strong they can be. Fulcrums are cool and help us every day!
