A small circus elephant mass tonne (1000kg) puts all its weight one foot which has
a surface area 400cm2
.
● ‘Gravitational force’ the force acting towards the centre the
earth due the effect gravity. Heavy breathing and perspiration would evidence the work done.

● ‘Magnetic force’is the force
created magnetic field.

● ‘Cohesive adhesive force’is
the force required hold things
together.

● ‘Inertial force’is the force required
to get things moving, change

car discussed above.

● ‘Tensile force’is the force pulling
things apart.
Pressure stress
To move broken-down motor car might exert force the back the
car propel forward.
● ‘Compressive force’is the force
pushing things together.
● ‘Centrifugal force’is the force
acting away from the centre, the
opposite centripetal force. This because her mass exerts force over much smaller area
than the elephant’s foot and the reason why many wooden dance floors are damaged by
high-heeled shoes. kN/m2
These two examples show that the young woman exerts times more pressure the
ground than the elephant.
● ‘Friction force’is the force which
resists prevents the movement
of two surfaces contact.
Definition
Pressure stress measure the
force per unit area.
Work done
Suppose broken-down motor car was pushed along road, work
would done the car applying the force necessary move along the
road.81m/s2

● ‘Shearing force’is the force which
moves one face material over
another. hands would apply pressure the body
panel the point contact with the car.
● ‘Centripetal force’is the force
acting towards the centre when
a mass attached string is
rotated circular path.
● ‘Centrifugal force’ the force acting away from the centre, the oppo-
site centripetal force.81m/s2
