Answer to Question #103839 in Molecular Physics | Thermodynamics for Ojay

Question

A man walking on a light rope stretches out hands horizontally while remaining upright. Explain why he must do this

Answer 1

As the man walk on the rope, due to imbalance of the man on the rope, his center of mass is getting imbalance as he is stretching the hand out, then center of mass will get balanced.

As longer the we will stretched the arms then we will get more stable while walking on the tricky surfaces. That will get balance the center of mass of the man.
