A book at rest on a table (Newton’s first and third laws )
Definition Definition Fundamental law of forces which states: “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." In other words, whenever one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body exerts an oppositely directed force of equal magnitude on the first body. It is also called the “action-reaction law” and was defined by Sir Isaac Newton.
