1 answer

True.

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the force the test booklet exerts on the desk is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force the desk exerts on the test booklet. Since the booklet is at rest, these forces are equal and balanced.
