Homework Statement
I need to explain why I can't lift myself by pulling my shoes' laces.
Homework Equations
Newton's third law
The Attempt at a Solution
My explanation is that by pulling on your laces, there is always going to be a force that goes against your force, so this is why you can't pull yourself up. (So we're using NEwton's third as an explanation) Is this correct ?[/B]
