The force pulling down is typically equal in size to the net force pushing up on an object in equilibrium. This is known as Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
The force pulling the apple down (gravity) is equal in size to the force pushing it up (normal force) when the apple is at rest or moving at a constant velocity. This is because the apple is in equilibrium and the forces are balanced.
A seesaw uses a combination of gravitational force and the pushing/pulling force applied by the users to create the motion. The pushing and pulling forces result in a torque that moves the seesaw up and down around its pivot point.
Force down = mass (kg) * acceleration due to gravity (about 9.82 (m/s)/s) Force up due to motion through the air (drag) = velocity 2 * drag coefficient (forces in newtons) (velocity in metres per second)
The upward force is equal in magnitude to the pulling force. This is because of Newton's third law of motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So the force pulling an object up is equal to the force pulling it down.
Gravity . . . pulling you down. The scale . . . pushing you up. If these two forces were not equal, then there would be a net force on the bottom of your feet, either upward or downward, and you would be accelerating.

A book resting on a table with the force of gravity pulling it down balanced by the normal force from the table pushing it up. A person standing still on the ground with the force of gravity pulling them down balanced by the normal force from the ground pushing them up. A car traveling at a constant speed on a flat road with the driving force from the engine balanced by the frictional force and air resistance.
The force pulling the anvil down would be gravity.
it could speed up or slow down, it depends which force is bigger and which direction the force is pushing/pulling etc.
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.

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.
The reaction force to gravity is the ground pushing back up against you with an equal force to support your weight. This is known as the normal force.
