The minimum theoretical stopping distance of a fork/lift truck traveling at 16km/hr is 8.5m. however tests have shown that if it stops that quickly it will weither lose its load or tip forward and in fact the minial stoppping distance is 10m. Therefore:
a) explain why a suddent stop will cause the load to shift forward and why the whole truck may tip at the same time? and
b) explain why it is dangerous to drive a fork lift truck with its load raised use equations.
