The vertical component of the applied force acts upwards when the lawnmower is pushed. The lawnmower’s effective weight is reduced as a result. When pushing the lawn mower, the vertical component operates in the direction of the mower’s weight. As a result, the weight of the mower has increased. As a result, pulling a lawnmower is easier than pushing one.
Explain why it is easier to pull a lawnmower than to push it.
