Question

A $60 k g$ man pushes a $40 k g$ man by a force of $60 N$ . The $40 k g$ man has pushed the other man with a force of:

A

$40 N$

B

$0$

C

$60 N$

D

$20 N$

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is C)

Newton's third law: To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So when $60 k g$ man exerts a force of $60 N$ on $40 k g$ man, $40 k g$ man also exerts the same force of $60 N$ on the $60 k g$ man.
