The forces acting on the book are balanced since the book is at rest.

Forces acting on a book held in your hand

The forces acting on a book held in your hand include the following;

  1. downward force : this force is due to the weight of the book acting downwards as a result of gravitational pull of the earth.
  2. upward force: this is the force applied by your hand supporting the book so that it doesn't fall to the ground.

                                               ↓  (weight of the book)

Thus, we can conclude that the forces acting on the book are balanced since the book is at rest.

Balanced force implies, that downwards force = upwards force.
