Question

Which is easier to hold in hand: a kulhar (earthen pot) or a glass tumbler? Why?

Answer 1

Answer:

A kulhar is easier to hold than a glass tumbler, because a kulhar has a rougher surface than glass. The irregularities on the surface of the kulhar get interlocked with the irregularities on the hand , this increases friction which makes it easier to hold the kulhar.

I hope this helps you friend.

Answer 2

Friction and grip

Explanation:

Friction is a phenomenon which resists motion when an object is rubbed against another. Sliding friction is between two objects when one or both are sliding against each other. Sliding friction is maximum when both the surface rubbing against each other are rough, rather than when one of them is smooth or both are smooth. Friction is helpful in some instances because it gives a better grip. A glass surface is much smoother than an earthen cup. So earthen cup has more friction and thus better grip.
