To increase angular velocity, the radius is shortened. There are two forces generated in angular motion. Radial force generated ...

1.) Mechanical Advantage - the relationship or ratio of the moment arm to which force applied (effort) acts to that through whic ...

The first class of lever is depicted by the effort and resistance or load on opposite sides of the fulcrum as shown in Figure 2. ...

Class III levers A third class lever is classified when the effort and resistance act on the same side of the fulcrum, but the m ...

locomotion carries the center of gravity through the heel toward the forefoot. 2) Stance Phase - “Full Flat”: The single limb is ...
