| Feb 26, 2015 at 17:40 | comment | added | user73555 | Well, does it say that I am in the state of Equilibrium. It must not say for sum of forces acting on me is not zero. | |
| Feb 26, 2015 at 17:29 | comment | added | diffeomorphism | you are, you are being accelerated by the earth's gravity at one G, and you are being accelerated by the earth's surface reaction force at minus one G. one G minus one G equals zero G for the points of your body that are receiving the reaction force (usually your feet) | |

| Feb 26, 2015 at 14:00 | comment | added | lemon | Imagine you're standing on a tightrope, can you see how the forces balance? Gravity pulls you down which stretches the tightrope and causes the tightrope to exert an equal but opposite force. Right? | |

| Feb 26, 2015 at 13:57 | comment | added | user73555 | Well if I take your case then I see that both forces are applied by same body viz., Earth. Since you said that earth is pulling me via gravity and simultaneously you said that earth is applying force against my feet. | |
| Feb 26, 2015 at 13:53 | comment | added | lemon | The earth pulls you via gravity (your weight) and it applies an equal but opposite force (against your feet when standing). These two balance out so the net force is in fact zero... | |
