Question
It is easier to pull lawn roller than to push it. Why?
✓
Answer
When we pull a lawn mover the vertical component of applied pull acts opposite to the weight of mover and it reduces the effective weight on the other hand. When the lawn mover is pushed vertical component of applied push adds to the weight of mover and therefore its effective weight is more than actual.
