Answer:

Gravitational pull

Step-by-step explanation:

Rina was not able to overcome the gravitational pull of the box towards the ground due to the box’s weight, creating a more significant pull towards the ground. Rina’s upward applied force on the box was not greater than the box’s gravitational pull towards the ground, therefore she could not lift it.
