Aden Blackwell · Answer 1

50 N

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law, also known as the law of action-reaction tell us that the force exerted by object 1 upon object 2 is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force exerted by object 2 upon object 1. So, if you exert a force on a wall, it exerts the same force on you in the opposite direction.
