Consider the block shown above supported by feet at A and B that is at rest on a rough floor. A horizontal force P is applied to the right on the block. As the magnitude of P is increased slowly, two ...

Mechanical forces play a major role in the regulation of cell adhesion and cytoskeletal organization. In order to explore the molecular mechanism underlying this regulation, we have investigated the ...

How to create an application-optimized thin force sensor. How the sensor was integrated with a standard RFID IC. The various tests run for accuracy and range under different scenarios. Some ...

Researchers report that they have invented new nanoscale sensors of force. They are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them. These 'all-optical' ...

The equation F = ma is one of the most important in physics. Yet we have so far not explained how to get a quantitative operational definition of either mass or force. Somehow, from this one ...
