A loaded truck is transmitting 10 kN pressure on each wheel. The centre of gravity of the loaded truck is 1·2 m above the road level and the centre to centre distance of wheels is 2 m. Find the pressure exerted by the inner and outer wheels, when the truck is going round a curve of 440 m radius at 48 km.p.h.
