Chapter 3.2, Problem 19R

To determine

To identify: The forces on the book and person.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

According to Newton’s third law of motion, every action force has equal and opposite reaction force.

When a person push the book, he put an action force on book and book will put a reaction force on the person due to Newton’s third law. On book, the identical forces are force applied by a person, friction force, gravitational force and reaction force.

Conclusion:

Hence, the identical forces on book are force applied by a person, friction force, gravitational force and reaction force.
