Answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

  • This is happen because here when Rick walks with full loaded wheelbarriow of bricks, he able to move it because Rick lifts the wheelbarrow handle
  • So, most of the weight of full loaded wheelbarrow's load goes on that's wheel and due to friction force between wheel and surface it can easy to move
  • He uses force to rotate the wheel, much more than the force applied to the rim of the wheel on the axis of rotation or torque
