In the figure below, student "a" has a mass of 95 kg and student "b" has a mass of 77 kg. They sit in identical office chairs facing each other. Student "a" places his bare feet on the knees of student "b", as shown. Student "a" then suddenly pushes outward with his feet, causing both chairs to move. During the push and while the students are still touching one another:neither student exerts a force on the other.student "a" exerts a force on student "b", but "b" does not exert any force on "a".each student exerts a force on the other, but "b" exerts the larger force.each student exerts a force on the other, but "a" exerts the larger force.each student exerts the same amount of force on the other.

As we can see that student 'a' suddenly pushes outward with his feet, i.e student 'a' must be…

Question

In the figure below, student "a" has a mass of 95 kg and student "b" has a mass of 77 kg. They sit in identical office chairs facing each other. Student "a" places his bare feet on the knees of student "b", as shown. Student "a" then suddenly pushes outward with his feet, causing both chairs to move. During the push and while the students are still touching one another:

neither student exerts a force on the other.
student "a" exerts a force on student "b", but "b" does not exert any force on "a".
each student exerts a force on the other, but "b" exerts the larger force.
each student exerts a force on the other, but "a" exerts the larger force.
each student exerts the same amount of force on the other.
