According to Archimedes, the principles of the lever include the Law of the Lever and the Principle of Virtual Work. The Law of the Lever states that the product of the weight being lifted and its distance from the fulcrum is equal to the product of the weight applied to the other end and its distance from the fulcrum. The Principle of Virtual Work states that if a lever is balanced and one side is moved along a circular arc, the distances of the weight and the weight applied to the other end from the fulcrum are inversely proportional to their magnitudes.
