Why is this so traveller’s bags have wheels?
Advertisements
उत्तर
A traveler's bag has wheels so that it can be dragged easily because of reduced friction between the ground and the wheel. Thus, the wheel, a simple machine, helps to decrease the effort to be applied to the load, which is a bag here.
