[QUOTE="SteamKing, post: 5005926, member: 301881"] I don't know where you got the equation Fg = mg. The weight of a person is calculated using W = mg, where m is the mass of a person in kg, g is the acceleration due to gravity, 9.81 m/s[SUP]2[/SUP], and W is the weight in Newtons, the SI unit of force. For example, if someone has a mass of 50 kg, his weight is 50 * 9.81 = 490.5 Newtons. That's a force of 245.25 Newtons on each leg. To find out the force acting on each row, add up the mass of all the people standing on the rows above. [/QUOTE]
