Gourt Home::Gourt :: Resistance force
In physics, resistance force is the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object.
Resistance force can be expressed as
- R × DR = E × DE
where:
- R equals resistance force
- DR equals resistance distance
- E equals effort force
- DE equals effort distance.
Resistance force is also a component in the following equation,
- Work output = R × DR
where:
- R equals resistance force
- DR equals resistance distance.
Resistance force, like most other forces, is measured in newtons or in pound-forces.
