It's not a non-sequitor if you understand what g is. And know 
it's value.

It's also not a non-sequitor if you know that multiplication by a 
constant is.

It's not a non-sequitor if you know that force is often expressed 
in kilograms (or tonnes). More accurately, kilogram-force or 
kilopond but more commonly just kilogram. If it's good enough for 
Dassault Mirage, it's good enough for me.

It's not a non-sequitor if you know that multiplying a scalar by 
a vector gives you a vector.
"You are pressing down with 100kg". "Down" is a vector.

It's only a non-sequitor if you want to distract from the fact 
that 5yen is inventing magical vectors to satisfy a highschool 
level mis-understanding of classical physics. Much like your 
highschool mis-understanding of fluid dynamics.

It doesn't matter in this example anyway because mass *is* force. 
Gravity is the property of mass and can be defined completely 
without any other reference. The acceleration of gravity is also 
completely irrelevant. The force exterted between our 100kg 5yen 
and earth is derived by this formula
F=6.67x10^-11 * m1 * m2 / r^2
where m1=100,000 and m2 is the mass of the earth (in grams), r is 
distance. As you can see chairs have nothing to do with it.

(That is Newton by the way)

Gowen's poodle is nearly as dumb as him. I've forgotten, are you 
a lawyer too? You are too boring for details like this to sink in.
