Imagine ...
You are the Lonely and the Survivor.
you do not have a tractor, crane, or cart, but you need to carry a very heavy object.
-------
this object weighs over 250 kg (world record for weight lifting - 215 kg.) ;)
You must use your Hands and Brains. Your knowledge of Physics.

=====
A bit of history.
A huge stone, which was placed under the Monument to Emperor Peter-1, Russia, was "brought" with the use of manual power, brains, ancient technology, which became the science of Physics.

Now let's try to do this alone.
I repeat, you don't have any mechanical tools (tractor, crane, cart ...).
The concrete block weighs 250 kg, dimensions 90x30x30 cm.
You have to move 10-20 such blocks to a distance of about 10-100 meters.
(sorry that I am using the metric system, as in Science it is customary to use) :cool:

Google translator does not translate professional concepts well,
so I will write in simple words, even if it sounds funny .. :)
----
you must have the following tools:
- scrap metal (thick metal stick)
- cable from the car (thick long rope)
- about 10 bricks
- Slega (thick birch stick, about 3 m long and 5 to 7 mm in diameter.
- 4 boards, 2.5 × 15 × 150 cm
- 5 Rollers - round wooden rollers with a diameter of no more than 15 cm and a length of about 38-43 cm.

=======
Technology.
1. Take the Crowbar and use it to "pry" one end of the concrete block off the ground.
WARNING!
The block is very heavy!
Take care of your hands and fingers!
Substitute bricks to secure the block.
do this several times until the angle between the block and the ground is about 15 degrees.
--------
2. Take Slug and tie it to the concrete block. In Physics This is called a "lever". You can lift weights with less effort.
-------
3. Using the Lever, place the Concrete Block upright.
-----
4. Place 4 planks in the direction where you want to move the concrete block
------
5. Place 5 rollers on these boards
-----
6. Using the lever, place the Concrete Block on the Rollers.
------

7. You can roll the concrete block. Reposition boards and rollers periodically.
I assure you that you will not even sweat ... it is very easy.
