Concept explainers
To identify: Whether a person push harder on one hand than the other while rubbing hand on each other.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
According to
While rubbing, when a person pushes harder on one hand by other hand, then a force is applied. An equal and opposite reaction force is also applied by other hand according to Newton’s third law. So, the two forces are equal. Thus, both hands push each other equally.
Conclusion:
Therefore, a person cannot push harder on the other hand while rubbing.
