Two bodies A and B of masses 5 kg and 10 kg in contact with each other rest on a table against a rigid wall as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the bodies and the table is 0.15. A force of 200 N is applied horizontally to A. What are:

(a) the reaction of the partition?
(b) the action-reaction forces between A and B?

What happens when the wall is removed? Does the answer to (b) change, when the bodies are in motion? Ignore the difference between μs and μk.

EASY
IMPORTANT

Assertion: Nuclear force doesn't obey Newton's third law.

Reason: Nuclear force is not a central force.

EASY
IMPORTANT

Assertion: The third law of motion concludes that the forces occur in pairs of action and reaction.

Reason: The action force is more than the reaction force.

EASY
IMPORTANT

Assertion: Newton's third law is not applicable for nuclear forces.

Reason: Nuclear forces are short-ranged.
