They were being hit with forces 30 or 40 percent as strong as the normal force of gravity.
If there was no normal force, you'd be slowly seeping into the ground.
The men were pressed back into their seats by ten times the normal force of gravity.
"Our normal seasonal force for this district is about 200 people," he said.
At 53 degrees, a person in the plane would have been subject to 1.7 times the normal force of gravity.
To use the normal force, you need to determine the horizontal component.
The normal force is one of several forces which act on the object.
The human body, for all its extraordinary capabilities, is just not made to take 6, 8 or 12 times the normal force of gravity.
First let's see why normal force can point down in the first place.
The training is nearly similar at the beginning between normal and special forces.
