Howard leans back against a wall with 50 N of force. According to Newton’s Third Law of Motion, what force is being applied and in what direction?

Answer 1

According to Newton's Third Law of Motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this scenario, Howard leans back against a wall with a force of 50 N. By Newton's Third Law of Motion, the wall applies an equal and opposite force of 50 N on Howard, directed towards the wall.
