===Meaning===
A '''force multiplier''' is a tool that increases the size of a [[force]] by reducing the distance the [[force]] moves through compared to the original [[force]].
===About Force Multipliers===
: A '''[[Force]] can be multiplied''' due to [[Conservation of Energy]]. Since [[Work Done]] = [[Force]] x [[distance]] then a tool can make the [[force]] larger by making the [[distance]] shorter.
: There are four main '''force multipliers''' you should know:
*[[Lever]]s
*[[Gear]]s
*[[Pulley]]s
*[[Hydraulic System]]s
