A bar, as a capstan bar, applied to a rotatory piece to turn
it.
A rigid piece which is capable of turning about one point,
or axis (the fulcrum), and in which are two or more other points where
forces are applied; -- used for transmitting and modifying force and
motion. Specif., a bar of metal, wood, or other rigid substance, used
to exert a pressure, or sustain a weight, at one point of its length,
by receiving a force or power at a second, and turning at a third on a
fixed point called a fulcrum. It is usually named as the first of the
six mechanical powers, and is of three kinds, according as either the
fulcrum F, the weight W, or the power P, respectively, is situated
between the other two, as in the figures.
