What are the forces acting on a chair when you get off a chair?
Assuming the chair (and you) are standing on a planet, in an atmosphere (so you don't suffocate/explosively decompress), the chair will continue to be acted upon by gravity. In addition, air pressure will press upon it. In an open planetary setting, air pressure is often explained as gravity pulling the weight of the atmosphere upon the objects it envelopes.
