3 examples of balanced forces

Examples of balanced forces include the centripetal and centrifugal forces that keep the planets in fixed orbits around the sun, as well as weight and reaction forces that keep a book on a table. Balanced forces are forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

This is an example of balanced forces. The force exerted by each person is equal, but they are pushing in opposite directions, in this case together. It would look something like this. Because the force that each of you is exerting is equal, the two forces cancel each other out and the resulting force is zero.
