Which is the definition for a fulcrum

1 answer

A fulcrum is the pivot point around which a lever rotates. In physics, it refers to the support or point of balance on which a lever turns when an effort is applied to one end, allowing for the lifting or moving of an object at the other end. In a broader sense, the term can also be used metaphorically to describe a central point of importance or a crucial factor in any situation or system.
