An example would be a book placed on a table. The book's weight is acting perpendicular to the table and the reaction of the table on the book is also acting perpendicular to the table, but both thse forces are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude, the reasons the book and the table are satble and in equilibrium
balanced forces
Balanced Forces
Two forces equal in size and opposite in direction are balanced, not unbalanced, because they cancel each other out. Any set of forces which has a resultant of zero is said to be balanced.
When two forces acting on an object are not equal in size, we say that they are unbalanced forces. a stationary object starts to move in the direction of the resultant force. ... a moving object changes speed and/or direction in the direction of the resultant force.
A vector quantity has both size (magnitude) and direction involved but a scalar quantity only has size involved and not direction.
Two forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces.
Actually, forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction are called balanced forces. Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal in size and/or opposite in direction, resulting in a change in an object's motion.
