A Curve in the Road
| Division: | Health Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Bluewater | | City: | Walkerton, ON | | School: | Brant Township Central E.S. | | Abstract: | Transportation vehicles carrying loads with a high centre of gravity can become unstable when entering a curve due to an increase in lateral g-force. Using a device to shift the load to the inside of the curve and to tip it in the opposite direction of the g-force would change its centre of gravity, increasing the force required to tip the load over. |
