where all the weight goes when 2 people carry something heavy

441 views

When carrying something heavy alone (a couch for example) it is either really heavy or seemingly impossible to lift, but when 2 people on each side lift, it suddenly becomes super light, and I think they have all the weight, making me feel guilty. I recently helped someone move and they said they thought the same. Where does all the weight go?

If you are carrying equally, the weight halves. Halfing the weight of something drastically changes the feeling.
