Someone recently remarked to me: "A pile of dirty clothes at rest, tends to stay at rest. And stay dirty."
And it occurred to me that the inertia of laundry is far in excess of it's mass: it is really vastly more difficult to get a pile of laundry into motion than you would expect from dividing its weight by the local gravity anywhere.
Can anyone explain why laundry is so much more inert than any comparable mass?
