A 100 kg father and his 50 kg daughter stand on ice skates on a frozen pond. The daughter pushes on her father with a force of 50 N. Who received the larger force?

Both feel same magnitude force.

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of father = 100 kg

Mass of daughter = 50 kg

From the third law of Newtons:

Every action have it reaction in opposite direction. It means that if any object apply a force on the other object then first object also feel force of same magnitude but in opposite direction.

It means that both father and her daughter will feel same magnitude of same but in opposite direction.
