Hi,

The force applied by an iron nail on a magnet = magnetics force of atraction between them.
When the iron nail is attached to a magnet, the same amount of reaction is applied by the magnet on the nail, otherwise there wold have been an unbalanced force on the nail and it would be moving, (which doesn’t happen)

thanks
