Q803

It is easier to carry two buckets of water in one hand each, than to carry only one in one hand because

A.
Weights of buckets are balanced
B.
Centre of gravity falls within the body
C.
Centre of gravity and centre of equilibrium fall within the feet
Answer
D.
Resultant weight of buckets is zero

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
It is easier to carry two buckets of water in one hand each, than to carry only one in one hand because the centre of gravity and centre of equillibrium fall within the feet. The weight is spaced out more evenly on both the sides of the body than it would be if you had to carry in a single bucket.
