Question

A man is sitting on a chair. Identify the true scenario from the following options:

The man exerts a greater downward force on the chair than the upward force exerted on him by the chair.

The chair exerts a greater upward force on the man than the downward force exerted on the chair by the man.

The chair exerts an upward force on the man, while the man does not exert any force on the chair.

The man exerts a downward force on the chair, while the chair does not exert any force on him.

The magnitude of the downward force exerted by the man on the chair is equal to that exerted on him by the chair.

Answer 1

The magnitude of the downward force exerted by the man on the chair is equal to that exerted on him by the chair.

Step-by-step explanation:

according to newton's third law, any two objects acting on each other exert equal force to one another so the magnitude of the downward force exerted by the man on the chair is equal to that exerted on him by the chair.

Answer 2

The magnitude of the downward force exerted by the man is = to that exerted on him by the chair
