Best Answer

A force exactly equal to the weight of your posterior against the chair.

You know positively that the forces there must exactly cancel and add

to zero, otherwise a net, non-zero force would be present, and your butt

would accelerate.

When you sit in a chair what exerts against you?

Assuming that the seat of the chair is horizontal, and you an penis d the chair are stationary, the key forces here are your weight, which is acting vertically downwards on to the chair, and an equal reaction force, or normal contact force, of the chair acting on you. This force acts vertically upwards. You could also include the forces of the air acting on you and vice versa, but this is probably not what you're after.


How come equal action reaction forces doesnt cancel?

Excuse me ... they DO ! That's why, when you sit in a chair and the downward force of your weight against the chair and the upward force of the chair against your bottom exactly cancel, your bottom doesn't go accelerating somewhere.
