The force of your pencil or pen against the desk that your paper is on if you're writing something down.

The force of your paper against the desk.

The force of your book against the desk.

In each case, the desk exerts the identical but opposite force against the object lying on it. If that were not true, the objects would deform the desk, or the desk would form a bump where the objects are lying on it.

What are action reaction forces involving a bucket?

When you lift a bucket, you exert an upward force on it, while the bucket exerts an equal and opposite downward force on you. This is Newton's third law of motion in action, where every action has an equal and opposite reaction.


What are two pairs of action-reaction forces involving a bucket?

When a person lifts a bucket upward, the person exerts an upward force on the bucket, and the bucket exerts a downward force on the person. When a bucket is pushed along the ground, the person exerts a forward force on the bucket, and the bucket exerts an equal and opposite backward force on the person.


How can there be an unbalanced force on an object if every action has an equal and opposite reaction?

"action/reaction" does not mean " force". "Applying force" is an action, not the force itself. So, applying force will create a reaction, which may or may not balance the applied force.


Does the reaction force occurs before the action force?

The action and reaction forces occur at the same time.
