When a book sits on a shelf what force if any does the shelf exert on the book?

The shelf must exert an upward force on the book that is exactly equal to
the book's weight. If the forces on the bottom of the book were not balanced
(did not add up to zero), then the bottom of the book would be accelerating.

The upward force that fluids exert on all matter is?
If you place a 5-kg cinder block on a tabletop, it just sits there; it doesn't move. Compared to the tabletop, it's velocity is a constant -- zero, in this case. If an object is moving at constant velocity (even zero velocity), we know that the sum of the forces acting upon it is zero. Hence, we can say that the sum of the forces acting upon the block on the table is zero. So, what are those forces? The obvious one is weight, which is the downward force that is the product of the cinder block's mass and the acceleration due to gravity (W = mg). If weight were the only force acting on the block, it would accelerate downward; in other words, it would fall at an increasing rate. But it's not falling; it's sitting there. So, there must be a force acting upon the block in an upward direction and equal in magnitude to its weight. That upward force that exactly balances the block's weight is called the Normal force.

Does a pile of soil that sits on the ground exert force or not?
Yes, a pile of soil sitting on the ground exerts force on the ground beneath it. The soil has mass, and gravity pulls it down on the whatever is under it. A red ant standing atop the pile of soil exerts an extra force on it, to continue the figure.

Is a book sitting on the top shelf potential energy?
A book, no matter where it sits, is an organized and bound assembly of paper with information stored on it. The book has some mass, and like any mass, its gravitational potential energy relative to the floor can be defined in terms of its mass and its distance above the floor.
What is the shelf life on a car battery?
I would not buy one that is over 6 months old. But the shelf life is at least a year. After the battery sits on the shelf for over 3 months it is a good idea to charge it before putting it into service.
How do you tell how long a unit of inventory sits on a shelf before it is sold from the inventory turnover rate?
How long a unit of inventory sits on a shelf before it is sold is a measure of time. The inventory turnover rate is a ratio that shows how many times the inventory is sold and replaced over a certain length of time.

A cami-bra is a camisole with a built in shelf bra on the inside. A shelf bra is one that has no 'cups', but has an elastic band at the bottom, which sits just below the breasts and gives some support.
