Dear student
The tendency of a body to remain in its position of rest unless acted by an external force is called 'inertia of rest'. Examples: (i) Dust is removed from a hanging carpet by beating it with a stick. ... (ii) When we shake a tree, the fruits or dry leaves fall down from the tree due to inertia of rest.
