Lever the power out, and the ratio of output to input force is given by the ratio of the distances from the fulcrum to the points of application of these forces. This is known as the "law of the lever." The mechanical advantage of a lever can be determined by considering the balance of moments or torque, "T", about the fulcrum. where F is the input force to the lever and F is the output force. The distances "a" and "b" are the perpendicular distances between the forces and the fulcrum. Since the moments of torque must be balanced, formula_3 .
Darcy Lever that Levers daughter had inherited them and thus they passed to her husband John Bradshaw. However the land came to them, the family estate grew and today they continue to hold large parts of the Bolton area. At this time, 1666, Robert Lever had eight hearths liable to tax, James Bradshaw and John Crompton had seven each and Lawrence Fogg six. The rest of the township was made up of 12 more heaths. The land-tax return of 1786 shows that James Bradshaw and John Peploe Birch were the chief proprietors of Darcy Lever, between them they paid about half the
