Gravitaional force is the force pulling on it from the Earth.
If the rock is sitting in the dirt, the normal force from the ground and the force of gravity are acting on it. The normal force is the force exerted by the ground supporting the rock, while the force of gravity is pulling the rock downwards towards the Earth.
The force acting on a falling rock is gravity, which pulls the rock downwards towards the Earth's center. As the rock falls, it may also experience air resistance, which opposes its downward motion.
If the rock is moving in a straight path in space with a constant speed, there is no force acting on the rock since there is no change in velocity. Therefore, no work is being done on the rock because work is defined as force applied over a distance in the direction of the force.
The amount of force per unit area acting on a rock is defined as pressure. It is calculated by dividing the force acting on the rock by the area over which the force is applied. Pressure is measured in units like Pascals or pounds per square inch (psi).
If you sit on a rock with a downward force of 'W' pounds, then the rock exerts an upward force of 'W' pounds on your derriere. We know that the sum of the forces on the seat of your pants must be zero. Otherwise the pants would be accelerating, either up or down.

You know that the combined force is enough to overcome the force of friction.

When gravitational force and buoyant force are balanced on the lithosphere, the rock is in isostatic equilibrium. This means that the rock is neither sinking nor rising in response to the forces acting on it.
When the rock starts to roll, it suggests that the combined force from the people pushing is greater than the forces resisting the rock's movement, such as friction. This demonstrates that the net force acting on the rock is in the direction of motion.
When holding the apple over your head, the main force acting on the apple is the force of gravity pulling it downwards, with the reaction force being the apple exerting an equal force upwards on your hand. When you drop the apple, the only force acting on it is still gravity pulling it downwards, but now there is no reaction force as the apple is falling freely.
When several people push on a large rock and it starts to roll, it means that the force applied by the people was greater than the force of friction holding the rock in place. This causes the rock to overcome static friction and start moving due to the net force acting on it. Once in motion, the force of kinetic friction will act to oppose the motion of the rock.
If the raindrop is falling at a constant speed, then it has reached terminal velocity. This happens when the downward force (due to gravity) is the same as the upward force due to friction. As such the net force acting on the rain drop is 0.
The buoyant force acting on a rock in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the rock, as described by Archimedes' principle. This means that the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the volume of water that is pushed aside by the rock when it is submerged.
