What is the force of air pushing down on us?
14.7 psi (at sea level).
What is the pulling or pushing force from a magnet?
The force that binds us is not very static. It's something transcending electromagnetic. (From one of my favorite love sonnets). Is the force what? There are four fundamental forces: Strong nuclear, weak nuclear, electromagnetism (light, radio, heat, magnetism, etc.), and the weakest of the four: gravity.
Why is the force exerted on the same amount of area on top of the mountain less than the force exerted at sea level?
Although you didn't mention air pressure, that seems to be what you are asking about. Air exerts pressure because air has weight, and we have a very thick atmosphere (which extends upward for about 200 miles) pressing down on us. But at higher altitudes, such as a mountain top, there is less air pressing down, since only the part of the atmosphere that is higher than where you are, is pressing down on you.
What is the name of the force holding us down to the earth?
Gravity
Machines pushing or pulling forces?
Machines can exert both pushing and pulling forces depending on their design and intended function. The ability to apply forces in different directions is essential for various mechanical applications. Pushing: Machines can exert a pushing force to move objects away from their point of application. For instance, a hydraulic press applies force to compress materials, or a bulldozer pushes soil or debris forward. Pulling: Machines can also exert a pulling force to move objects towards their point of application. A winch pulling a heavy load, or a tractor pulling a trailer are common examples of machines using pulling forces.

Why does no one understand that gravity is pushing us down and not pulling us down?
Because you are an uneducated buffoon, who will never accept the fact that it is PULLING US down. It is in no way pushing us. There is no logic in it pushing us down, and the laws of Physics say that it is pulling us down. I am a Professor in MIT. Don't try and act oversmart.
How do hangliders fly if gravity is pulling against it?
Basically for the same reason that we don't sink into the Earth, despite gravity pulling us down. There is another force pushing us up - and there is another force pushing the hang glider up. In the case of the hang glider, the push is provided by the air.
Why don't we crush even though atmosphere exerts force on us?
Gravitation
Gas molecules in the atmosphere are pulled toward the earth by what?
gravity pulls gas molecules down to earth because the force of it keeps us on the earth
What can you push?
While pushing we actually apply force on the ground which is opposed by frictional force acting on our feet.The ground now applies a normal reaction force on us which we apply on the body to be pushed.
If gravity is pulling you what is pushing you back?
Nothing. Actually gravity is pushing you down but there is enough air resistance on the earth to stop us feeling heavy and crushed
What is the name of the force that pulls us down?
gravity
What is the force to keep us on the ground?
The force to keep us and nearly everything else on the ground is GRAVITY.
