When a bogie negotiates a curve, reduction in adhesion occurs resulting in sliding. Thus sliding is acute when_______________?
Correct answer: C. both A. and B.
- A. wheel base of axles is more
- B. degree of curvature is more
- C. both A. and B.
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A longer rigid wheelbase causes greater geometric difficulty on a curve, while a sharper curve increases the difference in wheel travel required. Both effects increase the likelihood of wheel slip or sliding.
