Have you ever played tug of war with your friends and even though you were pulling so hard none of you were moving? As both groups pulling from opposite direction cancel each other, they exert a balanced force. The moment one group pulls harder that force is now unbalanced and boom, they have won. MightyOwl is excited to explore with you more examples of #BalancedAndUnbalancedForces and the implications of them.
Key words: balanced force, push and pull, strength, direction
