Demonstration: Force applied to a load can produce "balanced" and "unbalanced" force scenarios.

Practical Activity 14-16

Demonstration: This is an interesting way to show some balanced and unbalanced forces and the effects on motion.

Practical Activity 14-16

Class practical: We exert force by contraction, in length, of muscles.
