(a) The seventh coin will experience force equal to the sum of weights of the three coins above it. As each coin is of m kg, therefore, force on seventh coin = 3 m kgf = mg N.
(b) The eighth coin supports the weights of two coins above it. Therefore, the force on seventh coin due to the eight coin will be equal to the sum of the weights of the eighth coin and the two coins above it. Therefore, force on seventh coin due to eighth coin = m + 2m = 3m kgf = 3 mg N.
(c) The sixth coin experiences force equal to weight of the four coins above it. Hence, reaction due to sixth coin on the seventh coin = 4 m kgf = 4 mg N.
