|    Two equal and opposite forces    |

      From: fortunati.luigi@gmail.com              Two equal and opposite forces cancel out if they are applied to the       same body, and they do NOT cancel out if they are applied to two       different bodies.              So, if a horse, harnessed to a cart that's too heavy, can't get it       moving despite all its efforts, it means that the horse's forward       force F1 is canceled out by the backward force F2 of the cart, exactly       as if the two forces F1 and F2 were acting on the same body and not on       two different bodies.              Does this happen because the horse and cart, when harnessed, are       effectively a single body?              Luigi Fortunati              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
