A woman has a mass of ( 60 mathrm{~kg} ). she is standing on a floor and remains at rest (Fig3.2). Find the normal force exerted on her by the floor Figure 3.2. Since the woman is in equilibrium, the force ( mathrm{N} ) exerted by the floor is equal in magnitude to her weight ( w ) and opposite in direction.

Drawing a free-body diagram and a force sum diagram will help you solve the problem. A 87.12 kg woman rides in an elevator as shown below while standing on a scale. The woman moves downward (negative velocity) while speeding up (negative acceleration) at a rate of -5.03 m/s/s. (include negative signs if needed) What is the force of gravity on the woman? What is the net force on the woman? What is the normal force (scale force) on the woman?
