The reaction force is exerted by the head on the weight of 200 N.
Newton’s third law states that for every action there exists an but opposite reaction. Here the weight of 200 N is the action force in the action – reaction pair. The reaction force acting on here is the force exerted by the head on the given weight. According to Newton third law the reaction force of 200N will be opposite to the direction of action and is upwards and caused by the porter from his head.
