This document discusses the physics of chairs and forces. It asks questions about what forces act on objects like trays, chairs, and bridges. It then provides recommendations for good chair design, suggesting the chair should have a level seat surface and back angle of 90 degrees to promote good posture, and that function should come before design.

• Not too soft, not too deep
• Back-seat angle 90 degrees • Level seat surface • Seat should not be lower in back than in front • Function first, design second • Result: Good posture!
