Bulk Liquids & SurgePregunta 11 de 60
Compared to solid cargo of the same weight, why does bulk liquid raise rollover risk?
a.The liquid can shift and surge, moving weight and adding force in turns
b.Liquid weighs more per gallon than solid cargo
c.The liquid lowers the vehicle's center of gravity
d.Liquid tanks are always taller than dry vans
Explicación
Unlike a fixed solid load, bulk liquid moves inside the tank. This shifting weight and surge adds sideways force during turns and lane changes. Combined with the high center of gravity of tankers, it makes rollover a serious and constant hazard.
