When a bogie negotiates a curve, reduction in adhesion occurs resulting in sliding. Thus sliding is acute when
A)wheel base of axles is more
B)degree of curvature is more
C)both (A) and (B)
D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sliding becomes more acute when both the wheelbase of axles is longer and the degree of curvature is higher. A longer wheelbase makes it harder for the wheels to follow the curve without sliding, and a sharper curve increases the lateral forces that promote sliding.
