True or false, the center of gravity of a life truck always stays in the same place.true or false?

Now and then is a great answerer, he is exactly right for a ';lift truck'; if that is what you are asking. I want to point out though that a center of gravity is alway the same in any given object and does not move. The only way to change it is by external force such as higher or lower gravity, more weight on a certain part. Think of a long pipe, it's center of gravity stays the same but you can change it by adding wight to either side (a scale).





Hope these answers help. Good luck!True or false, the center of gravity of a life truck always stays in the same place.true or false?

If you mean ';lift truck';, then false. For that matter, I can't think of anything but a perfectly geometric object (like a sphere) that wouldn't change centers of gravity in some conditions. As for lift trucks, a load on the forks of the truck will shift the center of gravity forward nearer to the front axle. Lifting the load will raise the center of gravity. Weight unevenly distibuted or shifted to either side of center will move the center of gravity to the side. Operating the lift truck on unlevel surfaces will change the center of gravity, and changing direction or speed will have a similar effect to changing the center of gravity.





You should never lift more than the rated load with a lift truck.





The load should be placed as far back as possible on the forks, nearest the front tires. Rated capacity is for a load at the base of the forks and decreases significantly as you move forward on the forks or tilt the mast forward.





When driving, the forks should be as low as possible without contacting the ground.





Seatbelts must be worn at all times when operating a lift truck.





NEVER operate a lift truck controls while standing beside the lift truck.





No passengers are allowed on a lift truck, operator only.





Inspect your lift truck each shift in compliance with ASME/ANSI B56.1-1993m 6.2.7 before operating it and operate only in compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178.





When loading trailers, ensure wheel chocks and jacks have been properly placed under the trailer.





Never weld on or drill holes, or otherwise modify the forks.





Never get answers for an OSHA exam about industrial material handling equipment on the Internet in a Geology and Earth Sciences forum.
i wish i knew. i have a life car.
