Question

A 14.0 lb box is placed on the ground
what force (in lb) does the ground exert on the box

Answer 1

If a 14.0 lb box is placed on the ground then 14.0 lb force will be exerted by the ground on the box.

Explanation:

• According to Newton's third law, for every reaction, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
• It states that, when an object A exerts a force on another object B, then an equal and opposite force is also exerted by the object B.
• In simple words, we can say that for every action there is a reaction.
• If a 14.0 lb box is placed on the ground then 14.0 lb force will be exerted by the ground on the box.
