Re: [RC] Physics of Weight//Live Weight/Dead Weight - Beverley H. Kane, MD

Title: Re: Physics of Weight//Live Weight/Dead Weight
Aha, so in the riding contest between Bruce and Kat , Bruce should be dead and Kat should be doing the Macarena up there. Of course, Bruce will only be dead in the Schrödinger's cat sense—both dead and alive. Then at the finish we collapse the wave function in his favor. -- Beverley

Throw a 50lb feed sack (dead mass) on your shoulder and walk up a hill. Then throw a 50lb pig in a sack (live mass to be sure) over your shoulder and walk up the same hill. Same amount of weight, but that pig in a sack is creating forces in all kinds of directions that you have to compensate for (extra work) to keep your balance, even more work.
