Why is the middle seating most comfortable in a bus traveling along a bumpy road?
To Explain: Middle seating is most comfortable in a bus.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The average position of the weight of the object is considered as the center of gravity.
The position of center of gravity of the body affects the stability of that body. If the position of the object is nearer to center of gravity, the stability of the object is greater. As the middle section of bus is very close to center of gravity of the bus in comparison to that at ends, so the middle seating is more comfortable.
Conclusion:
Thus, the middle seating is more comfortable.
