One of the most important examples of (almost) circularmotion is the motion of planets around the sun
None of these orbits is really circular (especially Pluto's),but in most cases it is a very good approximation
Many celestial bodiesare in a kind of circularmotion:moons around planetsplanets around starsstars around the centre of the galaxy
To understand this motion we first have to introduce anew concept: action/reaction pairs of forces

As we said to understand planets motion we first have tointroduce a new concept: action/reaction pairs of forces
Any object A that exerts a force on another object Bexperiences itself a force that is caused by object B
Example: if you are sitting on achair, you (A) feel the chairpressing against you, and thechair (B) may break if you are tooheavy
FB on A is here the normal force,
FA on B is related to the weight of A

Two objects with an action/reaction pairs of forces have amutual influence on each other, We say that the objectsinteract with each other.
Sometimes object B is much larger (usually heavier) thanobject A. Then A's influence on B can be neglected sincethe state of B is hardly changed by FA on B
Example: a train (B) moving at5 km/h can easily push you (A)aside without noticeable changein its velocity. But if you walkinto the train, it will (usually)hardly move.

We have seen that the two forces of the gravitationalaction/reaction pair between two objects are equal inmagnitude but have opposite direction
This is true for any force and constitutes an example ofNewton's 3rd law:
Every force occurs as one member of an action/reactionpair of forces
The two forces in an action/reaction pair act on different objects The two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction: FA on B = - FB on A

It is important to note that Newton's 3rd law states theequality of the forces, not the acceleration of the twoobjects
The example of the satellite and the planet shows thateven if FS on P = FP on S the associated accelerations canbe very different in magnitude:
Hence aS = (mP/mS) aP >> aP for mP >> mS. Note thatthis is true independent of the type of force

In equilibrium we would have TA on S = TB on S .However, if the string is accelerated this would not bethe case:

NOTE 1: the force on the axle of the pulley is shared equally by the two lines looping through the pulley.
NOTE 2: a single movable pulley allows a unit weight to be lifted with only half the force needed to lift the weight without assistance.
The weight lifted divided by the lifting force is
defined as the advantage
of the pulley system.

In diagram 3, the addition of a fixed pulley yields a lifting advantage of 3. The tension in each line is ⅓ the unit weight, and the force on the axles of each pulley is ⅔ of a unit weight. As in the case of diagram 2a, another pulley may be added to reverse the direction of the lifting force, but with no increase in advantage. This situation is shown in diagram 3a.
