Statement of Newton’s Third Law of Motion

Statement of Newton’s Third Law of Motion

If one body exerts a force on the second body, the second body exerts an equal but on opposite force on the first.

Explanation of Newton’s Third Law of Motion

According to Newton’s Third Law we have:

Faction, = - Fraction

The minus sign indicates that the two forces are parallel but in opposite directions.

If we consider one of the interacting objects as A and the other as B then according to the third law of motion we have

F AB = - F BA

F AB represents the force exerted on A and FBA is the force exerted on B.

According to the third law of Motion:

F AB = - FBA
