2 N

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 exerted by the wind on the lawn chair (8 N) will result in a reaction force of equal magnitude exerted by the fence on the chair.

Therefore, the reaction force that the fence exerts on the chair is 8 N.

The correct response is:

8 N
