The action force and reaction force are pairs of what?
Forces that are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. For example, if you push against a brick wall and it doesn't move or become deformed, then the brick wall is exerting an equal force...
What is reaction force and action force?
the action force is the force which acts on the body due to some external effort, the reaction force is what the body acted upon gives back :D
