Question

balanced forces? yes no unbalanced forces? label the forces acting on the following object: an object hanging from a string. f spring f friction f normal f applied f tension f gravity

Explanation:

For an object hanging from a string, the force of gravity ($F_{gravity}$) pulls the object downwards and the tension force in the string ($F_{tension}$) pulls the object upwards. If the object is at rest, these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in balanced forces. There is no friction, normal force, spring - force or applied force acting on the object in the typical sense in this simple vertical hanging scenario.

Answer:

Balanced Forces? Yes
Unbalanced Forces? No
Forces acting on the object: $F_{tension}$, $F_{gravity}$
