Why are porcelain objects wrapped in paper or straw before packing for transportation? |
|
Answer» In transportation, the vehicle say a truck, may need to halt suddenly. To bring a fragile material, like porcelain object to a sudden halt means applying a large force and this is likely to damage the object. If it is wrapped up in say, straw, the object can travel some distance as the straw is soft before coming to a halt. The force needed to achieve this is less, thus reducing the possibility of damage. |
