It is easier to carry two buckets of water in one hand each, than to carry only one in one hand because
-
- weights of buckets are balanced
- centre of gravity falls within the body
- centre of gravity and centre of equilibrium fall within the feet
- resultant weight of buckets is zero
- weights of buckets are balanced
Correct Option: C
When the buckets containing equal amount of water are held in both hands, weight is spaced out more evenly than it would be if one had to carry a single bucket. For balancing the weight, the centre of gravity and the centre of equilibrium should fall, in the present case, within the feet.
