Force

…is the quantity that produces or tend to produce a change in the state of motion of an object or body, i.e.…produces acceleration

Spiros PrassasCalifornia State University

…force

The relationship between force an motion is addressed by Newton’s laws of motion:

Spiros PrassasCalifornia State University

First Law—Law of Inertia

Every body persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change its state by external forces, i.e

An (external) force is required to stop, start, or alter motion, i.e, an (external) force is required to change the velocity of of an object, but not to maintain it

Spiros PrassasCalifornia State University

Second Law—Law of acceleration

The acceleration of a body is proportional to the force causing it, it is in the direction of that force, and it is inversely proportional to its mass:

m

Fa extcm =

Spiros PrassasCalifornia State University

Third Law—Law of action/reaction

To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.

This law implies that:Forces occur in pairs, andAction/reaction pairs never act on the same object…

Although the magnitude of the action/reaction forces is the same, their effect on the respective objects are not…why?

Friction

Spiros PrassasCalifornia State University

…friction

Frictional forces arise between objects in contact. They are parallel to the contact surface and always oppose, or tend to oppose the relative motion of the objects involved

Spiros PrassasCalifornia State University

…friction

Frictional forces are equal to:

Nf μ=Where:

μ is the coefficient of friction, and

N is the perpendicular (Normal) force between the two objects

…therefore, frictional forces can be altered by altering either μ: how?

Torque

Spiros PrassasCalifornia State University

…torque

Torque represents the rotational effect of force

When muscles contract, the force produced is applied to bones, which rotate about a joint

The magnitude of the torque produced by a force depends on magnitude of the force, the direction of the force,and the distance from the point of (force) application to the axis of rotation

Spiros PrassasCalifornia State University

Torques that produce or tend to produce counterclockwise (CCW) rotations are positive

Torques that produce or tend to produce clockwise (CW) rotations are negative

Positive (CCW) or negative (CW) torques should not be associated with a particular joint movement (flexion, extension, etc.)
