Parallel force, (more specifically, coplanar parallel forces) refers to forces of two equal magnitudes acting in the same direction within the same plane, with the counter force in the middle. An example of this is a see saw. The children are applying the two forces at the ends, and the fulcrum in the middle gives the counter force to maintain the see saw in neutral position.
