Lever fulcrum to where the output force is applied (point "B"), then the lever amplifies the input force. On the other hand, if the distance "a" from the fulcrum to the input force is less than the distance "b" from the fulcrum to the output force, then the lever reduces the input force. The use of velocity in the static analysis of a lever is an application of the principle of virtual work. A lever is modeled as a rigid bar connected to a ground frame by a hinged joint called a fulcrum. The lever is operated by applying an input
Darcy Lever railway station Darcy Lever railway station Darcy Lever railway station served the Darcy Lever area of eastern Bolton between 1848 and 1951. The station opened on 20 November 1848. It was on the Bury– section of the Liverpool & Bury Railway, which opened on the same day. To the east of the station, the valley of the River Tonge is crossed by Darcy Lever viaduct, which is high. It has eight spans supported by stone piers: two spans are long, and six are long. Each consists of six lattice girders: two , which also form the parapets, flanking four which are deep.
