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 × D_R = E × D_E

where:

R equals resistance force

D_R equals resistance distance

E equals effort force

D_E equals effort distance.

Resistance force is also a component in the following equation,

Work output = R × D_R

where:

R equals resistance force

D_R equals resistance distance.

Resistance force, like most other forces, is measured in newtons or in pound-forces.
