Jump to: navigation, search

In physics, effort force is the force used to move an object over a distance. Since antiquity, people have tried to understand the behavior of matter: why unsupported objects drop to the ground, why different materials have different properties, and so forth. ... In physics, a force is an external cause responsible for any change of a physical system. ... Jump to: navigation, search The distance between two points is the length of a straight line segment between them. ...


Effort force is a component in the following equation,

R × DR = E × DE

where

R is theresistance force
DR is the resistance distance
E is the effort force
DE is the effort distance.

Effort force is also a component in the following equation, In physics, resistance force is the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object. ... Resistance distance is the distance from the resistance (on a lever) to the fulcrum. ...

Work input = E × DE

where

E is the effort force
DE is the effort distance.

Effort force, like most other forces, is measured in newtons or the pound-force. Jump to: navigation, search The newton (symbol: N) is the SI unit of force. ... The pound-force is a non-SI unit of force or weight (properly abbreviated lbf or lbf). The pound-force is equal to a mass of one pound multiplied by the standard acceleration due to gravity on Earth (which is defined as exactly 9. ...

SMART96 FORCE (275 words)
The force applied to to the machine is called work input or effort force.
The work output is used to move the "force" you and the machine are trying to move or overcome.
The number of times the machine multiplies the effort force is called the Mechanical Advantage.
MSN Encarta - Lever (717 words)
Levers affect the effort, or force, needed to do a certain amount of work, and are used to lift heavy objects.
To move an object with a lever, force is applied to one end of the lever, and the object to be moved (referred to as the resistance or load) is usually located at the other end of the lever, with the fulcrum somewhere between the two.
In practical terms, the MA is the distance of the force to the fulcrum divided by the distance of the load to the fulcrum.
