Answer to Question #77739 in Classical Mechanics for Charvi

Question

When we lift a heavy table we apply a force on it that is the action force so does that applies a reaction force on our hands
If so then why the table is moving up by our force isn't the action force equal to reaction force

Answer 1

The action force equal to reaction force!
But we can say that these two forces are applied to different bodies: the action force to the table, a reaction force to our hands. Thus, the net force on the table is not a zero and the table is moving up.
