Forces and Balancing
  1. When forces are balanced the object won't move.
    1. If the forces are unbalanced then the object will move which ever way the weakest force is.
      1. Levers
        1. Magnify the 'effort' (force which is applying the pressure)
          1. Turns objects around pivots.
            1. Load is the object which is being lifted
            2. Magnets
              1. The same poles repel
                1. Opposite poles attract
                  1. Some metals are magnetic - they attract magnetic materials, Iron, Nickel and Cobalt are some examples.
                  2. Pressure
                    1. The smaller the area of an object, the higher the pressure.
                      1. When more force is applied then the pressure increases.
                        1. If a pin was pressing in to your hand and a hammer was pressing into your hand with the same force, the pin would pierce your skin and be more painful. The hammer would not hurt much.
