 If any one presses a stone with his finger, the finger is also pressed by the stone. If a horse is drawing a stone tied to a rope, the horse is (so to speak) equally drawn back towards the stone; for the rope...

...for this reaction being equal to the pressure of the body on the plane is to be explained thus : — Reaction is always contrary and equal to action: or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed towards opposite parts. Whatever draws or presses another... | |
