my whole body except for my legs, and it is applied to my bottom.

∙ 9y agoThe action is the force exerted by your body on the chair due to gravity and the reaction is an equal and opposite force exerted by the chair on your body, that's why you are in equilibrium.

If you are sitting in your seat are you being acted upon by balanced or unbalanced forces?
Balanced, the force or the chair pushing up against you is equal to the force of you being pulled down by gravity. Now if the chair was breaking and you were falling that would be a completely different story.
What is a sentence for condusion?
I want to be sure the chair is conducive for sitting.
What is the mass of an object if the force of gravity acting on its mass is 1033 Newtons?
If we have a force acting on a body and we know what that force is, and we also know that the force is gravity, we can solve because we know the force gravity exerts on a mass. If we take the total force acting on the body and divide it by the force of gravity per one unit of mass, we can find the number of units of mass that cause gravity to act on the object. We have 1033 Newtons of force acting on the object. Gravity pulls down with a force of 9.8 Newtons on 1 kilogram of mass. Our 1033 Newtons divided by 9.8 Newtons per kilogram = 105.41 kilograms
Define law of transmissibility of forces?
"The condition of equilibrium or motion of a rigid body is remain unchanged, if a force acting on the rigid body is replaced by another force of the same magnitude and same direction but, acting anywhere along the same line of action."
Pull acting on an object caued by the Force of gravity is called the?
Gravitational Pull, push, or force.
What action and reaction are present when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight pushing down on the chair is the action force. The reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body
What actions and reactions forces are present when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight pushing down on the chair is the action force. The reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body
What action forces and reaction forces are present when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight pushing down on the chair is the action force. The reaction force is the force exerted by the chair that pushes up on your body
What are the forces acting on sitting still?
The chair in pushing you up and the gravity pushing you down
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.
An empty office chair is at rest on the floor Consider the following forces Gravity Upward force exerted by the floor A net downward force exerted by air What forces are acting on the office chair?
All three of the forces are acting on the office chair.
What happens when the forces aren't balanced while sitting on a chair?
Whenever there are unbalanced forces, an object will accelerate. If you are sitting on a chair and there are unbalanced forces, you will start to move.
What action and reaction forces are presented when you are sitting on a chair?
Your weight exerts a downward force, while the chair exerts an upward force equal in magnitude to your weight.
Why doesn't the force you exert when sitting on a chair cause the chair to move?
because the floor exerts the same amount of force which means the net force is balanced causing it not to move
What force are acting on you when sitting still watching TV?
Static Friction.
What force is between you and a chair?
The following analysis holds while I am sitting in/on the chair: Gravitational force -- downward Resistance force of the chair -- upward Sum of the forces on the seat of my pants -- Zero Therefore neither I nor the seat of my pants is accelerated.
When an object is sitting on the Earth what do you call the force of gravity that is acting on the object?
weight
