Question
standing on a horizontal floor, in a room, with one of your feet and leaning the wall of the room with the other foot. The number of action reaction pair of forces you experience is
Solution
The action-reaction pairs in this scenario are as follows:
-
The force of gravity pulling you down and the equal and opposite force of the floor pushing you up (action-reaction pair).
-
The force of your foot pushing against the wall and the equal and opposite force of the wall pushing back on your foot (action-reaction pair).
-
The force of your other foot pushing against the floor and the equal and opposite force of the floor pushing back on your foot (action-reaction pair).
So, you experience three action-reaction pairs of forces in this scenario.
