How this happens could be from one or more causes. One common view is that caffeine narrows the blood vessels by blocking the hormone that normally keeps them open â adenosine. Caffeine also can stimulate cortisol and adrenaline to be released, which can cause a direct increase in blood pressure.
Second-order levers are mechanisms which feature the input force and output force on the same side of the fulcrum, with the input force furthest from the fulcrum. A great example of a second-order lever is a wheelbarrow. Similar to first-order levers, in a second-order lever the output force will be greater than the input force. However, the output travel will be less than the input travel. In this case, both the input and output forces will act in the same direction.
The wheel and axle can be viewed as a version of the lever, with a drive force applied tangentially to the perimeter of the wheel and a load force applied to the axle, respectively, that are balanced around the hinge which is the fulcrum.
