Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. Both people pull the tire with equal force.

Reason: When the two forces act in the same direction they add, producing a nonzero net force (unbalanced). The opposite-side cases are equal and opposite so they cancel (balanced). If one pushes and the other pulls with equal force in opposite directions, they cancel as well.
