Newton

So if everything's tiered to zero, it looks for it to be above, say, two...

Well, that would be on the force plate, say five Newtons, which is like almost nothing on a force plate.

Yeah, that's...

For at least like 500 frames.

So that's like disclaimer number one.

Yeah.

And then it has to be like it raised at least 20 Newtons in 100 milliseconds.

Secondly... to find the onset so that it doesn't find it.

so let's start with force force can be described as an influence on an object that may cause it to move and there's a really good plumbing example sitting right in front of us imagine a tap connected to a water supply the tap is closed the water isn't moving open the tap and the water starts moving through the pipework and out of the outlet one of the forces involved is gravity gravity is pulling objects towards the earth the value used for acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81 meters per second squared don't let that number just wash over you 9.81 meters per second squared keep it in your head because it turns up when we're talking about force a newton is a unit we use for force One Newton is the amount of force required to give one kilogram mass an acceleration of one meter per second squared.

So one Newton equals one kilogram meter per second squared.

That gives us our link between mass, acceleration and force.

And here's where we can put a simple plumbing example around it.

So if you've got a system containing 40 litres of water, you're dealing with approximately 40 kilograms of water.

We can then consider the force created by gravity.

40 kilos multiplied by 9.81 metres per second squared gives us 40 times 9.1 equals 392.4 Newtons.

They had those chains that they would put on the end of the bars, which would wait everything on the way down.

Well, Argo has gone out and invested in a machine where you can program it that way, you know, with Newtons in order to load an exercise as resistant way down or on the way up.

And I just was blown away with some of the technology that this place has.

I mean, to see that, you know, in a junior hockey environment, setting and have a team that again is, is building a sports science division within their own club is, is really cool to see.

What I was saying is a slight wrinkle.

So I'm saying basically like, let's say Usain Bolt is, you know, we could measure the Newtons of force that he's moving forward with into like the 10th step of his 100 meters.

And he's going to put that foot so perfectly on the ground that he'll carry 93% of those Newtons into the next step, right? He's

going to

stretch the muscles on landing and then they're going to spring him forward.

And being able to see the contact time between the hand and the different objects that you interact with.

That obviously is kind of a hacky way, ultimately, to get to understanding how much force in Newtons it takes to pull open a chair or twist a bottle cap.

I think force data will be incredibly important.

It's actually one of the products that we've been building out in that when you iterate with many of the different robotics foundation labs, you realize to close this gap, one, we have to create new hardware.

Jewels

to Newtons.

Yeah,

yeah.

Yeah.

You don't say, "I need to apply that many Newtons," or, "I need to squeeze harder because it's slipping."

Yeah.

You just think, "I will lift this."
