static friction must be overcome in order to initiate motion

determined by magnitude of external load

Newton's Laws
1st-(law of inertia)- object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force

inertia is the property of an object that makes the object resist both the initiation of movement or a change in motion

Second- (law of acceleration)- acceleration of an object is proportional to the force acting upon it and inversely proportional to the mass.

F=ma
A=F/m

Acceleration may be a change in velocity or a change in direction

3rd- (Law of Reaction)- in order to achieve equilibrium
-for every force (action), there is an equal and opposite reaction force

Classifications: 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
First Class Lever
2 forces on either side of fulcrum

>,< or = 1

1st class levers- favor either linear displacement and velocity of resistance or force
Second Class Lever- definition and mechanical advantage
Resistance force is between effort force and fulcrum

Mechanical advantage- always>1

most mechanically advantageous and efficient


--second class levers-favor less effort force, less linear displacement and velocity of resistance
3rd Class Lever-definition and mechanical advantage
Effort force is between resistance force and fulcrum
mechanical advantage-Always < 1

always mechanically inefficient, effort arm always shorter than resistance arm

most of our joints are 3rd class levers since it is more advantageous to have movement over force.
