Question

A box is on a table – what force is acting on the table, what force is acting on the box
If I try to push it such that the box slides along the table then what forces are acting on the box and table.

Answer 1

on table gravity downwards is acting,, on the box normal reaction force is acting..
when the box is pushed,,the external pushing force is also acting in the direction of motion,, and the friction force is acting opposite to the direction of motion

Answer 2

On table : the forces are gravity downwards and the normal force from the box again downwards. For box, gravity downwards ,normal force from the table upwards, the external force in direction of motion and the frictional force opposite to the direction of motion.

Answer 3

also, on the table we have the normal force acting upwards from the floor.
