Answer

$615N$

Work Step by Step

We know that $F=PA$ $\implies F=(70.51\frac{lb}{in^2})(1.01\times 10^5Pa)(14.7\frac{lb}{in^2})(2\times 7.13cm^2)(\frac{1m}{100cm})^2$ $F=690.7N$ The net force is given as $F=W_{my\space weight }+W_{bicycle}$ This can be rearranged as: $W_{my\space weight}=F-m_{bicycle}g$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $W_{my\space weight}=690.7-7.7(9.8)$ $W_{my\space weight}=615N$
