May the Force be against you!

Hi ... does anyone know or have a reference to the force exerted on the tonearm at the stylus point?
Nor am I talking about antiskate as this will be for a linear arm.

It is stylus pressure times coefficient of friction. It depends on stylus geometry, groove modulation, composition of vinyl, among others. Look for the term stylus drag.
