How does a change in the center of gravity affect the dynamic stability of a fully loaded articulated haul truck descending a slope?

A change in the center of gravity (CG) significantly impacts the dynamic stability of a fully loaded articulated haul truck descending a slope. The center of gravity is the point where the weight of the object is evenly distributed; it's the balance point. Articulated haul trucks are designed with a CG within a specific range to ensure stability. When descending a slope, gravity acts to pull the truck downwards, and the location of the CG relative to the wheels becomes critical. If the CG shifts upwards or towards the front of the truck, the truck's stability decreases. An upward shift increases the risk of ro....
