उत्तर

No, this is not an example of Newton's third law. According to Newton's law, if a body A exerts a force on body B, then B exerts a force on A equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The forces act on different bodies. So, the normal by table on the book is action and the reaction pair is the force on a table by the book. Weight is due to the force of the earth on the book, not due to the table. Hence this is not an action-reaction pair

A plumb bob is hung from the ceiling of a train compartment. If the train moves with an acceleration 'a' along a straight horizontal track , the string supporting the bob makes an angle tan−1 (a/g) with the normal to the ceiling. Suppose the train moves on an inclined straight track with uniform velocity. If the angle of incline is tan−1 (a/g), the string again makes the same angle with the normal to the ceiling. Can a person sitting inside the compartment tell by looking at the plumb line whether the train is accelerating on a horizontal straight track or moving on an incline? If yes, how? If not, then suggest a method to do so.
