प्रश्न
Explain the following:
People often shake the branches of a tree for getting down its fruits.

उत्तर
When the branches of the tree are shaken, they come in motion, while the fruits due to inertia remain in a state of rest. Thus, the larger and weakly attached fruits get detached from the branches and fall down due to the pull of gravity.
