What are forces?
Force
PULL PUSH
Force has both
magnitude and
direction

What is gravity?
F(g)Pulls Wiley down
F(g)= maForce is measured in
N (Newtons)M= Mass
A= Acceleration of gravity or 9.8 m/s2https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlLSc3tZAyc.

F(n) pushes up
F(g) pulls down
Forces need to be in balance for something like YOU or a static Bridge to stand at rest

Bridges
For many hundreds of years humans have used bridges to traverse difficult geographical terrain
Our species wasn’t the first to do this….

Ants have hooked claws at the end of their legs. They use this to hook themselves together to make sturdy highways that can carry many, many times their own weight..
The even distribution of forces is what keeps our modern day bridges togetheras well
