Physics of Weight Lifting

[RC51racer]

TweetAnyone have any articles on the physics of weight lifting. I'm writing a paper and I need some sources. Any Help would be great.

Tweetsorry bro, i am of no help with this one

Tweetthey are heavy...lol wish i could help

TweetNeuton's 4th Law says: Physics sucks

Tweeti would have to recommend yellow jacket on this one , he is pretty sharp on this kinda crap. (but dont tell him i told you that)

Tweetforce * distance = work
power = work/time
force = mass * acceleration

ok ill stop

TweetI dont really know what else there is besides the formulas that MB just gave. You could simulate the motions of an exersize in vector format and anaylize the force and torques in a specif range.

Actually with your formulas though MB

Work is defined as an application of a force over a distance, but that force must be applied in the direction of the force for work to be done.

A torque is difined as a force applied that tends to rotate on object, but this force must be in a direction non-parallel to the the distance.

Energy is power/seconds...or work/seconds^2, or force/velocity^2 . There is kinetic energy, energy in motion, which is .5 X mass X veloicity ^ 2. And potential which with gravity is simply mass X G X height.

There is also equations relating to eletcrics and springs, but I dont think thats relevant to weight lifting. Although, those of us that use bands, there is an equation for the potential energy. Its something like .5 X K X X^2...or something like that, wherease K represents the constant for the band elastisity and X represents the distance stretched.




I used to be mechanical engineer before switching to pre med

Tweetyou should use your brains and become a chemist billy. then tell me how to get ahold of you. haha

TweetWell...actually, I didnt like ME cause I thought it was too much of a desk job and not enough "work with my hands" type of deal.

Was going to go into pharmacology, but found it not to be social enough playing mad scientist....

LOL...now we try medicine, lots of interaction and hands on stuff there.

Go Billy! Go Billy! Go billy!


You have too much personality to have an 'isolated' career.
It'll just make you grouchy~
Good thing you changed gears

hmm..
You could also add examples to your paper by writing about your workout & how each exercise relates to physics..

Force ~ weighted squats, etc.


In weight lifting you'd have..
Energy, power, momentum, velocity, work, acceleration, force.
