State the usefulness of Newton's third law of motion.

Solution
Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. Forces always exist in pairs.
This can be used in propulsion of rockets in free space by ejecting gases out of it in backward direction.
