In orthopedics , weight bearing is the amount of weight a patient puts on the leg on which surgery has been performed. In general, it is described as a percentage of the body weight, because each leg of a healthy person carries the full body weight when walking, in an alternating fashion. After surgery of the hip, or of the bones of the leg, ankle, or foot, it is of the utmost importance for recovery to get the right amount of weight bearing when moving around with crutches or frames. The grades of weight bearing for each phase of recovery will be determined by the surgeon. Grades Non weight bearing NWB The leg must not touch the floor and is not permitted to support any weight at all. ref name Pierson 2002 The patient may hop on the other leg or use crutch es or other devices for mobility.

unreferenced date May 2010 Weight classes are divisions of competition used to match competitors against others of their own size. This reduces the exclusion of smaller athletes in sports where physical size gives a significant advantage. Weight classes are used in a variety of sports, especially combat sports such as boxing , wrestling , and mixed martial arts . The existence of weight divisions gives rise to the practice of weight cutting . It is generally considered an advantage to be the largest individual in a weight division, therefore some athletes will work hard to lose weight through dieting and dehydration prior to weigh ins to meet the required weight class. Two alternatives exist to formal weight classes catch weight and openweight .

Weight on bit is provided by drill collars, which are thick walled tubular pieces machined from solid bars of steel, usually plain carbon steel but sometimes of nonmagnetic nickel copper alloy or other nonmagnetic premium alloys. Gravity acts on the large mass of the collars to provide the downward force needed for the bits to efficiently break rock. To accurately control the amount of force applied to the bit, the driller carefully monitors the surface weight measured while the bit is just off the bottom of the wellbore. Next, the drillstring and the drill bit , is slowly and carefully lowered until it touches bottom. After that point, as the driller continues to lower the top of the drillstring, more and more weight is applied to the bit, and correspondingly less weight is measured as hanging at the surface. If the surface measurement shows 20,000 pounds 9080 kg less weight than with the bit off bottom, then there should be 20,000 pounds force on the bit in a vertical hole .
