Yank (physics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In physics, yank is the derivative of force with respect to time or mass multiplied by jerk. Though not universally accepted as an official term for this quantity, the term yank is commonly used among physics enthusiasts.

The units of yank are force per time, or equivalently, mass times length per time cubed; in the SI unit system this is kilogram metres per second cubed (kg*m/s3)
