If in the standard category, same as all others certified in the
standard category. Same kind of answer for utility category.
172's were never certified in the aerobatic category. Dennis Brown

That will depend on the year/model of 172 would suggest a quick glance
in the poh of the a/c in question

When you're balanced in the normal category, it'll take +3.8 and -1.5 G
with flaps up. In the utility category, it's +4.4 and -1.8 G.

All certified American aircraft are designed to meet either normal, utility
or aerobatic g envelopes.
Particularly large or heavy aircraft are allowed with lower than normal stress
multipliers - but don't tell the passengers.
