Does your push on the handle and the force of the water flowing out comprise an action -reaction pair when your hand turns the handle of a faucet on?
Not in the sense I think you are asking. The force is your hand and the pushing against the handle. The reaction is the handle moving. It's true, your push on the handle lets water in, but that is a reaction to the faucet opening. I'm not sure action/reaction can apply to this because what do you use to bracket the equation? You can keep expanding both sides of it. You opening the handle cause a pump miles away to pump a little bit harder to make up for the pressure loss.
