A seesaw acts as a force multiplier because it uses the principle of leverage, allowing a smaller force applied at a greater distance from the fulcrum to lift a heavier load positioned closer to the fulcrum. This mechanical advantage is achieved through the seesaw's pivot point, which amplifies the input force based on the ratio of the distances from the fulcrum to the points where the forces are applied. As a result, it enables one person to lift another who may be significantly heavier, demonstrating how the arrangement of forces and distances can enhance lifting capability.
