As per conditions described here we know that all force arrow are not of equal length

So all forces are not same in magnitude

Here applied force on right direction is more in magnitude then the friction force on left

So it will have net unbalanced force towards right due to which it will move towards right direction or in the direction of net unbalanced force

While in the upward and downward direction the forces are balanced and hence the box will not move in that direction

So normal force will be balanced by gravitational force

So here answer will be

The forces acting on the box are UNBALANCED .

The box will move to the RIGHT .
