Yank (physics)

In physics, yank is the derivative of force with respect to time. Expressed as an equation, yank Y is:

where F is force and is the derivative with respect to time .

The term yank is not universally recognized but is commonly used. 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), or Newtons per second (N/s).
