Lever force F at a point "A" located by the coordinate vector r on the bar. The lever then exerts an output force F at the point "B" located by r. The rotation of the lever about the fulcrum "P" is defined by the rotation angle "θ" in radians. Let the coordinate vector of the point "P" that defines the fulcrum be r, and introduce the lengths which are the distances from the fulcrum to the input point "A" and to the output point "B", respectively. Now introduce the unit vectors e and e from the fulcrum to the point "A"
Lever rule Lever rule The lever rule is a tool used to determine the mole fraction ("x") or the mass fraction ("w") of each phase of a binary equilibrium phase diagram. It can be used to determine the fraction of liquid and solid phases for a given binary composition and temperature that is between the liquidus and solidus line. In an alloy or a mixture with two phases, α and β, which themselves contain two elements, A and B, the lever rule states that the mass fraction of the α phase is where all at some fixed temperature or pressure.
