The item with unbalanced forces acting on it is **water turning a waterwheel**.
In this scenario, the water generates a force that causes the wheel to rotate, indicating that there are unbalanced forces at play. In contrast, the heavy books stacked on a table, a car parked in a garage, and a tall bridge over a river all involve balanced forces, as the objects are either stationary or in a state of equilibrium.
