In physics, resistance force is the force which an effort force must overcome in order to do work on an object via a simple machine. Resistance force, like most other forces, is measured in newtons or in pounds-force. For an ideal mechanism in which no energy is lost, resistance force obeys the relation: where: R equals resistance force DR equals resistance distance E equals effort force DE equals effort distance Resistance force is used to calculate the work output using the following equation:
