Take two eggs, a raw egg and a hardboiled egg. Try to spin both the eggs with the same force on the same surface. Which one will spin for more time? You can see that the hardboiled egg spins for more time than the raw egg. What made the boiled egg spin for more time? Can you explain? If you cannot, do not get mystified. The upcoming pages will give a helping hand to answer the Thrill in Store.....

Answer:

When we spin two eggs, one raw and the other a hardly boiled egg, with the same force on the same surface, we observe that the hardboiled egg spins for more time than the raw egg. The reason is as follows: The hardboiled egg spins more because the egg white and egg yolk are in solid state, just. That is, the hardboiled egg is totally in a solid state. So they spin together. The inertia of motion keeps the hard boiled egg spinning longer until an external force is applied on it, or resistance of the table or air against the egg, stops it. The raw egg spins for less time, because inside the raw egg, the state of egg - white and the egg-yolk are different from the outside solid shell. Since liquids have more inertial drag than that of a solid. So, inside the raw egg it is liquid and moves very little when compared to the outside solid shell. The shell is forced to stop spinning because of the motion of the liquid inertia inside (egg-white or egg-yolk).
