Newton's First Law

This weekend i totally forgot about my physics journal. there was just so much going on. Like on saturday i went to the game and it was EPIC!! we beat st. louis!! the game was pretty intense and came down to the wire but we pulled through and it was mean! sunday i worked on my collage for senior page which was fun, but took a long time. so i was browsing through my pictures and i found this one. this picture is a good example of Newton's first law. if an object is at rest or at a constant velocity it's net force is zero. in this picture trevor and i are sitting on the top of a flag pole thing on the top of the koko head trail/hike. the combined force of our two weights on the pole is about 126+140=266 pounds. which means the pole is pushing us back up with an upward force of 266 pounds. this would mean that we are at equilibrium.
