Effort Force for a Wheelbarrow

[QUOTE="berkeman, post: 5869479, member: 8921"] I just know that as a practical matter when using a wheelbarrow and heavy loads, I sometimes have trouble when hitting bumps as I push it forward. The farther forward the load is biased, the harder it is to keep it from tipping forward. It's not so much an issue with uniform loads like sand and wet tanbark, but can be a problem when moving uneven slabs of broken concrete, for example. It's harder to balance the load evenly in the wheelbarrow with that kind of load, so I often end up biasing it back a bit to keep it more stable (despite the higher lifting force required). [/QUOTE]
