This video goes through six examples using torque to solving for the missing the distance or force needed to lift objects with levers.

Torque is a force that causes an object to rotate. It is the product of the force applied and the distance the force is applied from the fulcrum. To balance, the torque from both objects on the lever must be equal.

Watch this video to find out all about solving problems with levers.
