An extraordinary demonstration of Newton's third law

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: One of the more difficult-to-believe consequences of Newton’s third law is the equality in magnitude of an object’s weight with the magnitude of the third-law pair of its weight (the upward gravitational force of the object on the planet). This note describes a demonstration of this concept.
