• 0 N

  Balanced

• 0 N

  Unbalanced

• 600 N

  Balanced

• 600 N

  Unbalanced

Answer explanation

Because they are pulling with the same amount of force in each direction, their forces balance out.

Determine the net force of the scenario in the picture and identify if it is balanced or unbalanced.

• 400 N

  Balanced

• 400 N

  Unbalanced

• 200 N

  Balanced

• 200 N
