Consider the following statement made by a student about a book at rest on a level table:

Chapter 16.1, Problem 2aTH, Consider the following statement made by a student about a book at rest on a level table: “The two

“The two forces exerted on the book are the normal force directed up and the weight of the book directed down. These are equal and opposite to one another. By Newton’ third law they are a third law force pair, so the normal force is always equal to the weight of the book.”

Do you agree with the student? Explain why you agree or disagree.
