Forces have to be added as vectors. This means that in certain cases, the forces can cancel, and in other cases they can be added.

What does the term balance mean?

If you add up all the forces acting on an object, they are balanced if they equal zero. (They cancel each other out). If the forces acting on a object are balanced, then the acceleration of that object is zero. It may still be moving, but it is not accelerating. An object that is not accelerating, (the sum of the forces acting on it is zero), is in equilibrium.

How do you get net force?

Add up all the forces acting on the object, and be careful to take the direction ofeach force into consideration.When you do that, you'll notice that 5 pounds of force pushing the object north, and5 pounds of force pushing the object south, cancel each other and add up to zero,just as if neither of those two forces was there at all.When you finish adding up all the forces on the object in that way, whatever forceyou finish with is the net force on the object.
