A person places a bathroom scale in the center of the floor and stands on the scale with his arms at his sides ( Fig. 3.26a). If he keeps his arms rigid and quickly raises them over his head (Fig. 3.26b), he notices the scale reading increases as he brings his arms upward. Why? Then, with his arms over his head (Fig. 3.26c), he quickly lowers his arms to his side. How does the scale reading change and why? (Try it yourself.)
If you hold a horizontal metal bar several centimeters above the ground and move it through grass, each leaf of grass bends out of the way. If you increase the speed of the bar, each leaf of grass will bend more quickly. How then does a rotary power lawn mower manage to cut grass? How can it exert enough force on a leaf of grass to shear it off?
