Force. Something that changes the state of rest or the state of motion of an object. Can be a push or a pull Unit of measure Newtons N.

Types of Forces. Gravitational Force  An attractive force between all objects that have mass.  On Earth gravity is a downward force, always pulling.

Center of Mass. Curriculum Big Idea: All changes in rotational motion are due to torques. Concept: Torque is the rotational analogue of force for translational.

Balance and the Pas de Deux Alejandro Garcia

Pas de Deux Translated literally from the French, pas de deux means “step of two.” In ballet this term refers to a dance of two persons, typically a man and a woman dancing as partners. Photo from Physics and the Art of Dance by K. Laws

Forces on the Ballerina Forces acting on the ballerina are: Gravity Support (floor) Friction (floor) Friction (hands) Friction (CG) X Gravity Support (Floor) Friction Without her partner, the ballerina would fall forward.

Dancers as a Single Object Taken as a single object, the dancers’ center of gravity is located, roughly, as shown. The upward vertical support force of the floor balances the gravity force (their total weight) X (CG) Gravity Support (Floor) Support (Floor) Support (Floor)

Base of Support The pose is stable as long as the center of gravity is located above the base of support, the area outlined below.
