Question

The centrifugal couple’s tendency is to overturn the vehicle.

(a) True

(b) False

I have been asked this question in an interview for internship.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Stability of a Two Wheel Vehicle Taking a Turn topic in section Gyroscopic Couple and Precessional Motion of Machine Dynamics

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) True

To elaborate: When a two wheel vehicle is taking a turn, it experiences a centrifugal force acting on it which has a tendency to turn the vehicle upside down about a horizontal plane, whereas as centripetal force would prevent the overturning.
