The book would stay still on the desk because: B. The forces acting on the book are balanced.

The two types of force.

In Science, there are two (2) main types of force and these include:

  • Unbalanced force
  • Balanced force

What is a balanced force?

A balanced force is only produced when two or more forces that are acting on an object (book) are equal in magnitude and as such, it does not result in a change of motion (acceleration).

Generally, the magnitude of acceleration of an object decreases (reduces) when a balanced force acts on it.

In conclusion, the book would stay still on the desk because the forces acting on the book are balanced.
