Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

Question

A block of mass 20kg is pushed against a vertical wall by force P. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is 0.2. If theta = 30 degrees, what is the minimum magnitude of P to hold the block still?I understand that in order for the block to sit motionless, the net forces acting on the block must be zero. I set my equation to be Net Force = 0 = Psin(theta) + Force Friction - Force Gravity.Which I rearranged as P = (Force Gravity - Force Friction)/sin(theta) or P = (mg-μ(mg))/sin(theta)Doing this gives me a value of 313.6N rather than 202.9N which I should be getting. What am I doing wrong?
