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 is a component in the following equation,
- R × DR = E × DE
where
R equals resistance force,
DR equals resistance distance,
E equals effort force, and
DE equals effort distance.
Resistance force is also a component in the following equation,
- Work output = R × DR
where
R equals resistance force and
DR equals resistance distance.
Resistance force, like most other forces, is measured in the U.S. customary unit, the pound, or the Metric unit, the newton.
