Scientific reasons

Q= Why cup our hands before shouting?

The science behind sound
It has something to do with sound waves and the way we hear. The vibrations of vocal chords in the
throat produce sound waves, which come out through our mouth and travel through the air in all
directions. The vocal chords are tiny strings, which hang from our voice box or larynx. The sound,
which we produce, spreads out in all directions like ripples in a pond.
When these waves strike a person's ear, she or he is able to hear our sound. When the waves spread out
in all directions, a person standing at a distance is not able to hear it with intensity, for the energy of
the sound waves is also spread out.
But, when we cup our hands around our mouth, the sound waves travel only in one direction. The
intensity of the sound waves does not decrease. Thus, the sound can travel much further and clearly
reach a person standing at a distance. Cupping your hands around your mouth is a simple method of
making your voice reach farther.

Why do we lean forward while climbing a hill ?

We keep our body balanced on 2 feet by keeping Centre of Gravity
( COG ) of our body between 2 feet. It acts normal to the sea level vertically
downwards.
While walking on normal surface also , we keep this COG between our feet .
If COG goes out , we fall as we lose balance.
While climbing up , we have to bend forward to keep this COG intact. If we do
not bend forward , the feet position will get ahead of COG and we will fall
behind. So , to keep the COG between feet , we must bend forward.
