Ah yes, but that means that what I'm being hung by weighs more due to me. The normal force is not linked to me directly, so I am assumed to be part of the contraption. When viewed seperately I am being affected by the rope which is being affected by the log, or whatever, which is being aff...

But honestly, this is an argument that neither side can win, because both sides are "correct".

My main point was the second one, the first was a joke.


Also, I hereby declare the earth to weigh whatever my weight is. The force of gravity I am exercing in it is the same as it is exercing on me. Everyone on the earth except me is considered part of it. (Congradulations, you just technicly lost 99.99% of your weight because you make up so little of the earth's mass!)
