Question

What's the difference in a balanced force in an unbalanced force

Answer 1

There's no such thing as one balanced force or one unbalanced force.

If ALL of the forces in a GROUP of forces acting on the same object
all add up to zero, then we say that the GROUP of forces is balanced.

If they don't, then the GROUP of forces is unbalanced.

Two or more forces can be balanced or unbalanced.
One force can't.
