It is a fun little test that demonstrates the differing centers of gravity between a male and a female.

Place a chair against the wall and you stand in front of it with your feet shoulder length apart and firmly planted on the ground. You bend over - keeping your back as straight as possible - and put your head against the wall. Stand up while lifting the chair to your chest.

A male's center of gravity is around his waist area, thus lifting the chair in such a position will more than likely be difficult (Sort of like a top heavy thing...Ha). There are very few males who can do this successfully.

A female's center of gravity is around her hip area, causing her to be "anchored" down in a sense. Even so, there are a few girls who find this difficult. From what I have seen, it seems girls who are shorter tend have some difficulty.

What makes a chair more stable?

A chair is more stable when it has a wider base, lower center of gravity, and sturdy construction. Additionally, having adjustable or levelers on its legs can also contribute to its stability.


Is it possible to place a chair against a wall that a man cannot pick up?

no it is not possible for a man to pick up a chair if his head is up against against the wall. A mans upper body is usually more dense with bone and muscle mass than a women; thus raising a mans center of gravity towards his shoulders. A women usually has wider hips and leg muscles to center her gravity mid point rather than upper. When a man bends over he displaces his center of gravity 90 degrees out. When a women bends over it remains at the center of her waist. Thus keeping her center of gravity.


What is the role of centre of gravity in deciding the stability of an object?

The center of gravity is the average location of weight of an object, meaning that a ball, for instance, will have a center of gravity in the cent of the ball. A persons center of gravity is generally around the hip area, you can test this by leaning to one side, when you begin to tip naturally that's because your center of gravity is leaning too far out over your support, or legs.


What effect does gravity have on a chair?

Gravity pulls the chair downward, causing it to stay grounded and not float away. It also affects the weight of the chair, as the force of gravity acting on the chair creates the sensation of weight when someone sits on it.


If a person is sitting on a chair what forces are affecting them?

Two forces: gravity and the support force (according to Newton's law) that opposes it.


What keeps you on your chair?

How does energy transform by a person lifting a chair?

When a person lifts a chair, they use mechanical energy from their muscles that is converted into potential energy as the chair is raised against gravity. The person's muscles do work on the chair to overcome gravity, increasing the chair's potential energy.

Where does an object center of gravity always lie?

It is always different depending on the object. For example a female humans' center of gravity is in the hip. as a male humans' center of gravity is in the chest. But once you have found the center of gravity in an object the center of gravity should be the same in every object like it.


Is there gravity in the center of the Earth?

Yes, there is gravity in the center of the Earth. The force of gravity is present throughout the entire Earth, including its center.


What are the forces acting on a chair when you get off a chair?

Assuming the chair (and you) are standing on a planet, in an atmosphere (so you don't suffocate/explosively decompress), the chair will continue to be acted upon by gravity. In addition, air pressure will press upon it. In an open planetary setting, air pressure is often explained as gravity pulling the weight of the atmosphere upon the objects it envelopes.
