The scenario of a book on a table and the table pushing back is an illustration of Newton's Third Law of motion. This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is seen as the table applies an equal and opposite force to the book. ;

The scenario described reflects Newton's Third Law of Motion, which posits that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When the book exerts a downward force on the table, the table simultaneously exerts an equal upward force on the book. This interaction allows the book to remain resting on the table.
