Answer:

Explanation:

a) The magnitude of the net force on the student = 0 N since the student is standing still on level ground and upward reaction force = downward force.

b) the magnitude of the contact force on the student by the backpack = 80 N since the student was backing the backpack

c) the magnitude of the contact force o the student by the ground = 550 N + 80 N = 630 N reactional force on the student
