A physics book rests upon a level table. Describe the forces acting on the book.

there are only two forces acting on the book when it is at rest, gravity and the normal force which is the opposite force of gravity

In a situation where a physics book rests on a level table, it experiences two forces: the downward gravitational force that acts due to its weight and the upward normal force exerted by the table. These forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero and keeping the book in equilibrium. This balance of forces is fundamental in understanding the behavior of objects at rest on surfaces.
