how can we identify the direction of action and reaction force on an object

Open in App

Solution

According to the newton's third law of motion "For every action there is an equal reaction acting in a direction opposite to the direction of application of the action."

So, from the above statement that the direction of the reaction force will always be opposite to that of the action force acting on a body.
