How much force are you exerting when you lift a 20-pound dumbbell?

Assuming the dumbbell is suspended at a constant height from the ground and not moving you are exerting 89 Newtons (N). Force (N) = Mass (kg) x Acceleration due to gravity (9.8067 m/s2) 20lb = 9.072 kg 9.072 x 9.8067 = 89 N Leigh


Does exercise increase muscle?

Exercising increases muscle sizes by exerting pressure on these muscles (but not too much mind). As a response the muscle tenses to allow the increase of weight being lifted (relating to the arms) for example to allow the body to develop as an adaptation tool used by our earlier ancestors to survive.
