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.
