It is difficult to fix a nail on a freely suspended wooden frame. Which law supports this statement?

A Law of inertia
B Newton's second law
C Newton's third law
D Pascal's law

Correct Answer: Newton's third law

Newton's third law supports this statement.
When the wooden block is not resting against a support, the block and nails both move forward on being hit with a hammer. However, when the block is held firmly against a support, and the nail is hit, an equal reaction of the support drives the nail into the block.
