Tim is pushing a box with a 7 N force. The weight of the box is 5 N. A frictional force

of 3 N is acting on the box as it is being pushed. The ground is holding the box up
with a 5 N force. These forces are shown in the diagram below.
What forces (Normal Force, Force of Gravity, Force of Friction or Applied Force are
unbalanced in this scenario?

Friction and the applied force are not balanced. The 7 N push is countered by the frictional force of 3 N to push the box with a net force of 4 N.
