Answer

2$nd$ basketball is in equilibrium.

Work Step by Step

In 1$st$ ball downward force is greater than upward force, so net force is not equal to zero which means ball is not in equilibrium. In 2$nd$ ball resultant of the two ( right and downward) forces is equal and opposite to the third force. Thus net net force is zero and ball is in equilibrium.
