Answer the question, KOOK! What is YOUR opinion of what YOU think
were the forces that were actiing upon the the upper block and the
lower support structure, DURING THE COLLISION.

Gee, and you've mis-applied every one of them.

They were irrelevant to the equations of fluid dynamics too. So
what? That isn't the issue.

The question was what forces apply to the falling block.

There are two:

1. Gravity.

2. An upward reactive force deriving from its interaction with lower parts
of the building.

Got a third?

No?

So what are you going on about?

And so it goes. Your other response doesn't quote me either.

I am still waiting for you to produce a single thing I have said which you
believe is wrong.

Why won't you?

Is it because you can't?

And, BTW, momentum is not a force.

HTH

Of course you have to snip your lies. It's all you've got left,
KOOK.

Absolutely wrong.

Absolutely wrong.

It's an absolute lie to suggest that I have not.

No, YOUR head, KOOK! Try to focus.

More misdirection from you, huh? So, unless you're denying that
Newton's third law isn't valid, then the fact that the structure is
reacting to the change in momentum of the upper block during the
crash means that the same magnitude of force was acting upon the
upper block during the crash as well. That's the relevant force,
KOOK!
