Equal. Unless two objects are moving relative to each other, they abide by the “equal and opposite” reaction rule.

Force of A on B is the same as Force of B on A.

Do your own damned homework. This is an example of why kids are so stupid today even after graduating from high school. It’s too easy to get online and ask someone else to do your homework. That’s called CHEATING.

Use your own brain and try to learn something.
