Q. Consider the following statements regarding a 4-wheel vehicle moving at high speed along a sharp circular path:
  1. It will overturn about its outer wheels
  2. It will overturn about its inner wheels
  3. It will skid outwards
  4. It will skid inwards
Which of the above statements are correct?
Answer: 2 and 3
Notes: When a 4-wheel vehicle takes a sharp turn at high speed, centrifugal force acts outward, causing a tendency to overturn about the vehicle’s inner wheels and to skid outward. Thus, statements 2 and 3 are correct. Skidding inwards and overturning about the outer wheels are incorrect in this context.
