B Same case of Newton’s third law

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the application of Newton's third law in two scenarios: a monkey climbing a rope and a car accelerating on a road. Both cases illustrate how the application of force generates static friction, which is essential for the acceleration of the monkey and the car. Participants agree that the principles governing these scenarios are fundamentally similar. The emphasis is on understanding the role of static friction in facilitating movement in both examples. This analysis reinforces the relevance of Newton's laws in practical situations.

I think both are same cases of Newton’s third law. Both require applications of a force which generates static friction on rope and road and this force helps accelerate the monkey and the car up the rope and down the road. Right?
(Thanks for verifying)

Yes...

This has been discussed many times on PF, and will likely come up again, so the video might come handy.
