Question

action and reaction forces act on different bodies . Then how does a book rest on a table​

Answer 1

Action forces are those forces that always act in pairs. Always act in opposite direction. ... If a book is kept on a table then Action force will act on the table while Reaction force will acton the book. Now, Newton's third law states that forces act in pairs.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because many forces act on the book when it is at rest.

All the forces balance each other therefore book rests on table.

The action force and reaction force act in pair.

When the action force acts on the table by book then a reaction force of same magnitude acts on the book. This is due to the third law of newton.
