In the book of Job, part of the content includes passages in which Job (or his friends) contend with God, calling His judgment into question.

Background:

Iyov (Job) was a very righteous man, apparently a descendant of Terah, whom God tested through pain and loss (Job ch.1). His travails lasted for one year (Mishna, Eiduyot ch.2). During his sufferings, he spoke with his three friends concerning God's judgment and wisdom. He, more than his friends, spoke with full trust in God; and at the end of the year, God comforted him and once again gave him health and prosperity (Job ch.42). The Book of Job is in the form of a four-way debate, in which God himself then steps in as the final arbiter.

Why did Job suffer?

As in other cases, God wanted to provide us with a role-model. "Hillel makes the poor people accountable," since he learned Torah despite grinding poverty (Talmud, Yoma 35b). So too, Job served God despite exceptionally hard suffering, thereby teaching us that those of us who suffer can do so too.

The Book of Job is the only book in the Hebrew Bible concerning which the Talmud debates as to when it took place. One sage states that this book, like the Song of Songs, is allegorical (Talmud, Bava Bathra 15a), written for the purpose of teaching us, and need not refer to a specific person. The majority opinion is that such a man did actually live.

What is an example of a balanced force acting on an object?

Take the example of a book resting on a table. The downward force of the book's weight is matched exactly by the upward resistance of the table - hence the book remains where it is. (If the table was very flimsy, and unable to support the weight of the book, the book would accelerate towards the ground.)

Do objects of the same mass falls at the same rate?

objects of different mass fall at the same rate because the acceleration due to gravity is a constant rate. this means that all objects on the earth surface when dropped accelerate at 9.8m/s^2. the only reason this doesn't happen on earth is because of air resistance. take a feather and book for example the feather has more air resistance and floats sideways as well as down compared to the book that doesn't have much air resistance. BUT if you put the feather on the book then dropped it, they would fall at the same time because air resistance is negligible at this point.
