The pivot point of a lever. - ✔✔Fulcrum
The perpendicular distance from the line of action to the force of the fulcrum -
✔✔Moment Arm
The degree to which a force tends to rotate an object about a specified fulcrum. -
✔✔Torque

tends to draw the opposite ends of a muscle towards one another. - ✔✔Muscle Force
Force generated by a source external to the body that acts contrary to muscle force. -
✔✔Resistive Force
The ratio of the moment arm through which an applied force acts to that through which
a resistive force acts - ✔✔Mechanical Advantage
