In an interaction of two bodies A and B, which of the following statements is correct ?

1. $\overrightarrow{\text{F}}${\text{AB}} = \overrightarrow{\text{F}}{\text{BA}}
2. $\overrightarrow{\text{F}}${\text{BA}} \ge \overrightarrow{\text{F}}{\text{AB}}
3. $\overrightarrow{\text{F}}${\text{AB}} = -\overrightarrow{\text{F}}{\text{BA}}
4. $\overrightarrow{\text{F}}${\text{AB}} \gt \overrightarrow{\text{F}}{\text{BA}}

$\overrightarrow{\text{F}}${\text{AB}} = -\overrightarrow{\text{F}}{\text{BA}}

Reason — According to Newton’s third law, to every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction. In magnitude, F_AB = F_BA but they are in opposite directions. Therefore, $\overrightarrow{\text{F}}${\text{AB}} = -\overrightarrow{\text{F}}{\text{BA}}.
