0 N

2 N

0.5 N

8 N

Answer 1

According to Newton's third law of motion, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the wind exerts a force of 8 N on the lawn chair, then 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.
