How much weight can a curtain rod support?
The amount of weight a curtain rod can support depends on how many support brackets are helping support it. The more supports, the more weight. If there are no supports a typical rod can hold 20-30 lbs.
The upward force that fluids exert on all matter is?
If you place a 5-kg cinder block on a tabletop, it just sits there; it doesn't move. Compared to the tabletop, it's velocity is a constant -- zero, in this case. If an object is moving at constant velocity (even zero velocity), we know that the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. Hence, we can say that the sum of the forces acting upon the block on the table is zero. So, what are those forces? The obvious one is weight, which is the downward force that is the product of the cinder block's mass and the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). If weight were the only force acting on the block, it would accelerate downward; in other words, it would fall at an increasing rate. But it's not falling; it's sitting there. So, there must be a force acting upon the block in an upward direction and equal in magnitude to its weight. That upward force that exactly balances the block's weight is called the Normal force.
How much force does a floor exert on you?
When you stand on a floor, the force that you exert on the floor because of your weight is equal to the force with which the floor supports your weight.

What force is used to move a heavy book across a tabletop at a constant speed?
Enough force to overcome the frictional force between the book and the table. This force divided by the weight of the book is a ratio, usually less than one, called the coefficient of friction.
