Apparent weight - An object's weight, henceforth called "actual weight", is the downward force exerted upon it by a gravitational field. By contrast, an object's apparent weight is the (usually upward) force (the normal force, or reaction force), typically transmitted through the ground, that opposes the (usually downward) acceleration of a supported object, preventing it from ...
Torque - In physics, torque (or often called a moment) can informally be thought of as "rotational force" or "angular force" which causes a change in rotational motion. This force is defined by linear force multiplied by a radius.
Friction torque - Friction torque is the torque caused by the frictional force that occurs when two objects in contact move. Like all torques, it is a rotational force which may be measured newton metres or pounds-feet.
Weight training - Weight training is a common type of strength training for developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles. It uses the force of gravity (in the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks) to oppose the force generated by muscle through concentric or eccentric contraction.
Human weight - Weight, in the context of human body weight measurements in the medical sciences and in sports is a measurement of mass, and is thus expressed in units of mass, such as kilograms (kg), or units of force such as pounds (lb). In Britain and Ireland, the unit stone (equivalent to 14 lb or 6.
