A lab group used spring scales to measure the reaction force of balloon full of air being released with an action force of 11N. They tested it 10 times.

• Trial 5 because for every action there should be a less than equal and opposite reaction

• Trial 8 because for every action there should be a more than equal and opposite reaction
