how can we make this box unbalance?

Multiple Choice

What could we do to make box unbalanced?

• We could push the box from every side. The box wouldn't move, but pushes always

  demonstrate unbalanced forces.

• We could observe and describe the box sitting still. This would demonstrate

  unbalanced forces.

• We could hang weights from the hook. The weights would pull on the box. When

  the box slides on the table, the motion would demonstrate unbalanced forces.

• We could hang weights from all sides of the box evenly. The box would stay still but

  because it is being pulled in several directions, this would demonstrate unbalanced forces.
