Suppose one's hand exerts a force of 15 N upward on a book weighing 12 N. The reaction to the force of the hand on the book is a force of 12 N exerted by the book on the hand. 3 N exerted by the book on the hand. 15 N exerted by the book on the hand. 12 N exerted by the book on the Earth. 10 N exerted by the Earth on the book.
