Scales are intended to measure some downward force acting on the scale, which is the weight of the object placed on the scale to be weighed, but it is also true that the downward force is necessarily balanced by an equal and opposite upward force, otherwise the scale would be forced downward (which would be very awkward since it would break through the floor and create quite a mess).
From what? It's 90 degrees from the floor, and its angle from the wall varies during use.
90 degrees
30 degrees
Several examples may be found in the privacy of your own bedroom . . . -- the angle between any two adjacent walls -- the angle between the floor and any wall -- the angle between the ceiling and any wall -- the angle between the floor and any leg of the bed -- the angle between any leg of the bed and the bed-frame
the fourth floor
The force is called normal force. It is a reactionary force exerted by a surface to support the weight of an object resting on it. In the context of standing on a floor, the normal force from the floor acts in the upward direction to balance the downward force due to gravity acting on the person.
The two forces involved are the weight of the box acting downward, and the normal force exerted by the floor acting upward to support the weight of the box.
The forces acting on the office chair are gravity pulling it downwards and the upward force exerted by the floor counteracting gravity to keep the chair at rest. The net downward force exerted by air will have a negligible effect and can be ignored in this scenario.

the fourth floor
-- a force of 1,000N acting at his center of mass, behind his belt-buckle, and directed downward; -- a reaction force of 1,000N spread around on the soles of his shoes, exerted by the floor and directed upward;
No. The best position would be Supine. Prone means that the body is facing downward (stomach on the floor) whereas Supine is when the body is facing upward (stomach is up).
Placing a room heater on the floor allows warm air to rise naturally and heat the space more efficiently. In contrast, placing an air conditioner near the ceiling allows cool air to fall and circulate more effectively throughout the room, providing better cooling coverage.
Yes, when you stand on the floor, it exerts an upward force against your feet known as the normal force. This force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force you apply downward on the floor due to gravity.
Yes, when standing on a floor, the floor exerts an upward force on your feet equal to the force of gravity acting on your body. This force prevents you from sinking through the floor or falling. You are not moved upward by this force because your body weight is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the floor, resulting in equilibrium.
Two forces acting on you in a moving elevator are gravity, pulling you downward, and the normal force exerted by the elevator floor, pushing you upward. These forces combine to give you the sensation of weight.
