Why Luggage Trolley Has Wheels?

Luggage trolleys are provided with wheels to reduce friction between the wheels and ground as we know that static friction is more than rolling friction so the trolleys are provided with wheels so that we can easily move them from one place to another without experiencing any discomfort.

Why is it easier to pull luggage with wheels?

When one body rolls over the surface of another body, the resistance to its motion is Dalled the rolling friction. Rolling reduces friction. It is always easier to roll than to slide a body over another. That is the reason it is convenient to pull the luggages fitted with rollers.

Why rollers are provided on luggage bags and suitcases?

The friction acting when an object rolls over another object is called rolling friction. It is easier to pull a luggage fitted with rollers than to drag it. Rolling decreases the friction and makes movement of things easier. This is why luggages are fitted with rollers.
