Problem
A hardcover textbook of mass 2.0kg rests motionless on a horizontal classroom table. No other objects are in contact with the textbook except Earth and the table surface.
(1) List every force acting
ON the textbook. For each force, state the object that exerts that force on the textbook.
(2) For each force identified in part (a), state the corresponding partner force required by Newton’s third law. In each case specify
(i) the object on which that partner force acts and
(ii) the agent exerting the partner force.
