To be very frank, i have not heard or read abt Newton's laws of FORCE....but i can tell u Newton's laws of MOTION..........& it is very simple......
Newton's third law of motion says that "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction".......
it means that if u hit a ball with the bat, the velocity of the ball and direction of its motion purely depends on the velocity with which the ball is bowled...hope u got my point....take care

Newton the great scientist's theories are applicable in our life also: newtons law of motion ,relativity and etc.
Newtons's third law of motion
Every action there is equal and oppoist reaction
when you are beating your wife, the force to which you have done is equal and opposite to that of the force given by her in all ( add anger,repulsion and tent ion)

Lex III: Actioni contrariam semper et æqualem esse reactionem: sive corporum duorum actiones in se mutuo semper esse æquales et in partes contrarias dirigi.
All forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
This law of motion is most commonly paraphrased as: "For every action force there is an equal, but opposite, reaction force".
A more direct translation is:
LAW III: To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts. -- Whatever draws or presses another is as much drawn or pressed by that other. If you press a stone with your finger, the finger is also pressed by the stone. If a horse draws a stone tied to a rope, the horse (if I may so say) will be equally drawn back towards the stone: for the distended rope, by the same endeavour to relax or unbend itself, will draw the horse as much towards the stone, as it does the stone towards the horse, and will obstruct the progress of the one as much as it advances that of the other. If a body impinge upon another, and by its force change the motion of the other, that body also (because of the equality of the mutual pressure) will undergo an equal change, in its own motion, toward the contrary part. The changes made by these actions are equal, not in the velocities but in the motions of the bodies; that is to say, if the bodies are not hindered by any other impediments. For, because the motions are equally changed, the changes of the velocities made toward contrary parts are reciprocally proportional to the bodies. This law takes place also in attractions, as will be proved in the next scholium.
The explanation of mass is expressed here for the first time in the words "reciprocally proportional to the bodies" which have now been traditionally added to Law 2 as "inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This is because Newton in his definition 1 had already stated that when he said "body" he meant "mass".
The third law follows mathematically from the law of conservation of momentum.
As shown in the diagram opposite, the skaters' forces on each other are equal in magnitude, and opposite in direction. Although the forces are equal, the accelerations are not: the less massive skater will have a greater acceleration due to Newton's second law. It is important to note that the action/reaction pair act on different objects and do not cancel each other out.
If a basketball hits the ground, the basketball's force on the Earth is the same as Earth's force on the basketball. However, due to the ball's much smaller mass, Newton's second law predicts that its acceleration will be much greater than that of the Earth. Not only do planets accelerate toward stars, but stars also accelerate toward planets. If a star gravitationally attracts a planet, then the planet will gravitationally attract the star. The planet is less massive than the star and thus displays greater changes in its state of motion. Similarly, if a falling ball is pulled towards the Earth, then the reaction force is that the Earth is pulled toward the ball. We can not detect any change in the Earth's motion because it is much more massive than the ball.
The two forces in Newton's third law are of the same type, e.g., if the road exerts a forward frictional force on an accelerating car's tires, then it is also a frictional force that Newton's third law predicts for the tires pushing backward on the road.

Action and reaction are equal and opposite. When two bodies interact the force exerted by the first body on the second body is equal and opposite in direction to the force exerted by the second body on the first.

Forces always occur in equal and opposite pairs. If object A exerts a force Fa,b on object B, an equal but opposite force Fb,a is exerted by object B on object A. Thus,
Fb,a= -Fa,b
