Fulcrum
Fulcrum explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're trying to open a stubborn jar lid, but it just won't budge. Just like when you find the right spot to grip the lid and apply pressure, a fulcrum is the fixed point on which a lever pivots to make lifting or moving an object easier. In both scenarios, the jar grip or the fulcrum acts as the central point that allows you to apply force more efficiently, making a tough task manageable.
