Concept explainers
To explain: The reasonfor more stability of the vehicle with its normal body height than the modified vehicles with its body raised height.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
For any object, a centre of gravity is a geometric property. It is an imaginary point where the whole weight of the body is assumed to be concentrated.
The stability of any object depends on center of gravity.For vehicles with normal body height, the center of gravity is fixed but for modified vehicles with a body raised high, its center of gravity also shifts up but base of vehicle remains the same. Due to this reason, the vehicle becomes less stable in comparison to normal body height vehicles.
