Newton's Third Law for book on a table
Reply to thread
Message
[QUOTE="Orodruin, post: 6831690, member: 510075"] The third law pairs are: - The gravitational force from the Earth on the book and the gravitational force from the book on the Earth. - The contact force from the table on the book and the contact force from the book on the table. Third law pairs never affect the same object. The weight and the contact force on the book are equal and opposite because the book is in equilibrium, not because they are a third law pair. For example, if you add a force pushing down on the book, tilt or accelerate the table - they will not be the same any more. Third law pairs are always the force of A on B and the force of B on A.
