What do you feel when you shake some-thing to and fro? What do you feel when you hold it against the pull of gravity?
The feeling while a person shakes something to and fro and holds against the pull of gravity.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Every matter has a mass and remains fixed on any planet. The weight of a body changes according to change in gravitational force acting on the body.
When a person shakes any object to and fro, a mass or inertia is felt. Here, the object is in motion. Also when someone holds the object against gravity, then weight is felt by the person.
Conclusion:
A weight or inertia is felt a force when a person shakes something to and fro.
