If a gymnast is hanging from a stationary high bar how many forces are acting on her?

Two, The Force of Gravity and The Normal Force (the force that the gymnast exerts on the bar)
They ask you this to confuse you into thinking her arms count as a tension force, but they do not.

Force acting on stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are:PushPullGravity
What forces are acting on the gymnast?
Gravity, Momentum and Compression.
What forces are acting on the Mass a mass is hanging from a spring?
A mass is hanging from a spring experiences the force of gravity.
What forces are acting on a hanging pen?
When a pen is hanging, two forces act on it - the upthrust and the force of tension in the string.
You are hanging from a cliff with a rope tied around a rock which is on top of the cliff What are the forces acting on you?
gravity its always acting on you
If a book remains stationary on a table are the forces acting upon the book in equilibrium what is the resultant of the force acting upon the book?
All of the forces together balance out. The resultant of the forces is therefore nil. That applies to all equilibrium.
Why a book lying on the table remains stationary?
Relative to the table, the book remains stationary because there are no outside forces acting on it except gravity which keeps it lying on the table.
What Forces acting on a stationary car?
Normal contact force (upwards) Gravity/Weight (downwards) Equal to NCF
Can you say about the no forces acting on a stationary object?
If the object is not moving, then the only thing you can be sure of is that since it's not accelerating, all of the forces acting on it add up to zero. Just the fact that it's not moving is not enough information to tell you that there are no forces on it.
What can you say about the forces acting on a stationary object?
The forces acting on a stationary object are balanced. If you were to add up all the forces (taking the directions into account, you would get a total of 0. There are always forces acting on a object, such as gravity, so you cannot say that there are no forces acting on it. You can say that the forces are balanced.
Is it possible for an object not to be in full motion and still have forces acting on it?
Yes hanging load. Its weight ie force due to gravity is acting downward. And the tension the rope is acting upward. Both the forces are acting on the load but as they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction the resultant becomes zero.
A mass is hanging from a spring what forces are acting on the mass?
I do believe that it is either kinetic or potential energy. From jellyfish
