The force of your pencil or pen against the desk that your paper is on if you're writing something down. The force of your paper against the desk. The force of your book against the desk. In each case, the desk exerts the identical but opposite force against the object lying on it. If that were not true, the objects would deform the desk, or the desk would form a bump where the objects are lying on it.
In this case, calculate energy (work) as force times distance.
friction is a contact force
No. There is no such thing as a single force that is balanced or unbalanced, and a desk is not a force anyway.

Work = Force X Distance 20 N X 10 m = 200 N-m
In this case, calculate energy (work) as force times distance.
Work done = force multiply by displacement so W = 20X 10 = 200 Nm now 1Nm = 1 joule then the answer is 200 J
The gravitational force between you and your desk is way too weak to notice. Insert your own mass (for example, 50 kg), the mass of the desk (shouldn't be more than 50 kg or so), and an estimate for the distance (for example, 1 meter) into the formula to calculate the force of gravity. You'll see that the result is an extremely weak force.
friction is a contact force
It would be one meter.
No. There is no such thing as a single force that is balanced or unbalanced, and a desk is not a force anyway.
A simple formula would do to get the force on the desk. Force = pressure x area. Pressure = 1 x 105 pascal. Area = length x breadth = 1.54 x 0.78 = 1.2012 m2. Hence the force = 1.2012 x 105 newton.
1 meter.
