The situation where unbalanced forces are acting on an object is:

Two people stand on the same side of a large tire. One person pushes the tire and the other pulls the tire with equal force.

In this case, the forces are not acting in the same direction, resulting in a net force that is not zero, which means the forces are unbalanced.
