Problem
A crate is pulled to the right across a rough floor by a rope. A student lists four pairs of forces and claims each pair satisfies Newton’s third law. Which pair is actually an action–reaction pair?
(a) the weight of the crate and the normal force exerted by the floor on the crate
(b) the tension exerted by the rope on the crate and the weight of the crate
(c) the tension exerted by the rope on the crate and the tension exerted by the crate on the rope
(d) the tension exerted by the rope on the crate and the kinetic friction exerted by the floor on the crate
