Ten one rupee coins are put on top of one another on a table. Ten one rupee coins are put on top of one Each coin has a mass of m kg. Give the magnitude and direction of the reaction of the sixth coin on the seventh coin.
Ten one rupee coins are put on top of one another on a table. Ten one rupee coins are put on top of one Each coin has a mass of m kg. Give the magnitude and direction of the reaction of the sixth coin on the seventh coin.

(c) The sixth coin is pressed against the four coins above it, which are pulling it downward.
The 6th coin has a total downward force of 4mg.
The 6th coin will exert a reaction force upwards, according to Newton’s third law of motion. As a result, the force produced by the sixth coin on the seventh coin is equivalent to 4mg and acts upward.
