Answer: The upward Normal force
and the downward Gravitational force are balanced.
Explanation:
When a box is kept at rest on table, the net force on the box is zero i.e. all the forces are balanced.
Gravitational force that is the weight of the box acts in the downward direction. The reaction force that is the normal force acts in the upward direction. These two forces balance each other.
Refer to the free body diagram attached below.
Thus, the upward Normal force
and the downward Gravitational force are balanced.
