when we push books by hand,force exerted is by pushing and what the book exerts is pressure,Is it like that

Solution

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The very act of our exerting force on the book is reciprocated by the force being exerted on the hand by the book. Both forces would be equal in magnitude but direct opposite. Pressure is nothing but force acting per unit area.
