Answer 2

Jose is right, as the book is lying on the table, equal and opposite forces are acting on it.

According to Newton's first law, an object can only move when it is acted upon by unbalanced forces. If a body is acted upon by balanced forces, it does not move.

As the book is lying on the table it is acted upon by two equal and opposite forces, of weight and the reaction. Since the forces are equal and opposite, the book does not move.
