Answer:

The forces are balanced

Step-by-step explanation:

For an object to be unbalanced, each force has to be in the opposite direction of another force and have equal strength.

Taking a look at this photo:

  • The left side has a force acting towards the left and a strength of 25 Newtons.
  • The right side has a force acting towards the right and a strength of 25 Newtons
  • The bottom has a force acting downwards and a strength of 10 Newtons
  • The top has a force acting forward and a strength of 10 Newtons.

The forces are balanced because the left and right side both have forces acting in the opposite direction and will equal strength, 25 Newtons.

The same is said about the top and bottom of the rectangle, but the equal strength is 10 Newtons.
