A stool softener works by increasing the water content in the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. It typically contains ingredients like docusate sodium or docusate calcium, which act by reducing the surface tension of the stool, allowing more moisture to penetrate. This process helps alleviate constipation and reduces straining during bowel movements. Stool softeners are generally safe for short-term use but should be used as directed.

What forces are there by sitting on a stool?
When sitting on a stool, several forces are at play. The gravitational force pulls you downward, while the stool exerts an upward normal force to support your weight. Additionally, if the stool is not perfectly stable, there may be lateral forces acting due to your body shifting or leaning, which can create a torque that could potentially tip the stool. Overall, these forces work together to keep you balanced and stable while seated.
