Answer 1

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that the force that the fence exerts on the lawn chair will be equal in magnitude to the force that the chair exerts on the fence.

If the wind is blowing the lawn chair into the fence with a force of 8 N, then the fence will exert a reaction force of 8 N in the opposite direction.

Therefore, the correct response is:

8 N
