...and F the applied force. This clearly has its counterpart in equation (2.70). Newton's third law that "to every action there is always opposed an equal...are always equal, and directed to contrary parts" is true in general relativity also. However, we must be careful, because Newton's gravitational force... | |

...3rd law which defines the concept of the Newtonian force. In the Principia this law is stated thus: "To every action there is always opposed an equal...are always equal, and directed to contrary parts." Newton illustrated the application of this law with the example of a finger pressing a stone and the... | |

...directed along a common straight line. To preserve balance, Newton's third law states (after translation): "To every action there is always opposed an equal...other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts [in opposite directions]." Applying the second law to a simple body at rest or in uniform motion (and... | |
