Fg=mg

g=9.8 m/s2

m=1 kg

Fg=9.8 N

And we know that the net force is 0, since the object is at rest.

Gravity = mg

Normal force from the table - keeping the book off the floor - if book is not moving - also = mg

1) The Earth attracts the book; the book attracts Earth.

2) The book pushes down against the table; the table pushes up against the book.

If the velocity is constant (not changing) then the net force is 0. Likely there is a pushing force that is equal and opposite of the force of friction.

What is net external force?

The Net external forces is the result force of two objects acting upon it. So if like two forces act on a book. One force exerts downward on the book and the other force pushes the table back on the book with the same amount of push and pull. Since both forces are pushing on each other with the same amount of energy the resultant force or net external force will be in equilibrium or zero.
