A certain horse says, "There is no use trying to pull that cart. No matter how hard I pull on cart, -it will always pull back on me with exactly the same force. So I can never make it go , " Explain what is wrong with the horse's reasoning. (Free-body diagrams ,showing all the forces involved , will help )
