RE: [RC] The Physics of Weight - Kristen A Fisher

This reminds me of a story Bo Parrish once told me [CT region people all
know Bo!!].

One day I saw my brother dragging a big chain into the barn. 
I asked him, "Why are you dragging that chain into the barn?"
He said, "Because it's easier than pushing it."

Not really relevant, but funny nonetheless. ;-)

Bottom line: More weight equals more work as an object is 
moved. Just 
Physics, just the facts.

Not true.  

Every other day I have to move a ~100 lb bale of hay from my 
feed room to my horses' pen, and I have done this in three 
different ways (depending on the tools I happen to have handy 
at the time).
