Newton's Third Law is often stated as: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This statement means that when one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body also exerts a force on the first body. There is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the force exerted by the first body is equal in size to the force exerted by the second body. The direction of the force exerted by the first body is opposite in direction to the force exerted by the second body. Forces always come in pairs – equal and opposite action-reaction force pairs. In this experiment you will use two Force sensors to demonstrate Newton's Third Law of Motion.
