This answers Chapter 5 Conceptual Question 12. No masses or force magnitudes are supplied, so the answer identifies interactions symbolically. The container and cup-plus-coffee interpretations are stated explicitly. It uses the standard stationary, supported-cup model and neglects small atmospheric effects; the hand contact is a resultant, not an assumed grip geometry.
