Lever Principle Diagram - Classic Physics Illustration #3266410 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing depicts Archimedes’ lever principle, where a small input force (P) at the long arm overcomes a larger resistance (W) at the short arm, using a fixed pivot point (F). The illustration includes labeled components and a directional arrow indicating motion, reflecting 19th-century educational diagrams used in physics textbooks. The stylized hand and textured weight emphasize practical application over abstract theory.

Commonly used in educational content about simple machines, physics curricula, or historical science illustrations; targets students, teachers, and enthusiasts seeking visual explanations of mechanical advantage and levers.
