Question

A girl stands on a bathroom scale. In metric units, the scale indicates that her weight is 42

Answer 1

Explanation:

The scale is pushing back up against her feet with the same amount of force but in negative direction.

This can be explain using Newton's third law of motion which states that "action and reaction are equal and opposite".

As the girl weight pulls down on the scale in a positive way with a force of 42N, the scale pulls back with an equal amount of force upward in another direction.

The net force here is zero this is why the scale is not damaged by her weight.
