A tall strongman of mass m = 95 kg stands upon a scale while at the same
Question:
A tall strongman of mass m = 95 kg stands upon a scale while at the same time pushing on the ceiling in a small room. Draw a free-body diagram of the strongman (Fig. P3.34) and indicate all normal forces acting on him. If the scale reads 1100 N (about 240 lb), what is the magnitude of the normal force that the ceiling exerts on the strongman?

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
