Why is it easier to move a chair across the floor by pulling then by pushing it?
The answer to this question depends on various factors such as the weight of the chair, the surface it is being moved on, and the strength and technique of the person moving it. Generally, pushing a chair is easier on smooth surfaces, while pulling may be easier on rough or uneven surfaces.
Both pulling and pushing can cause strain on the body if not done correctly. It is important to use proper lifting techniques and to avoid twisting the body while moving a chair. If possible, it may be helpful to have someone assist with the task to distribute the weight and reduce the risk of injury.
