Joshua put his water jug on the bench after drinking. His water jug exerts a downward force of 42.86 N on the bench, which in turn exerts a downward force of 57.87 N on the ground it stands on. What is the upward force exerted by the ground on the bench? Round off your final answer to two decimal places.
