Answer 1

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that if the wind blows a lawn chair into a fence with a force of 8 N, the fence will exert an equal and opposite force back on the chair.

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