Question

if you took a sharp left turn on your lift truck, what effect would this have on the load?
○ it would cause the load to shift to the right.
○ it would cause the load to shift to the left.
○ it would cause the load to shift forward.
○ it would cause the load to shift backward.

Explanation:

When a lift truck takes a sharp left turn, the load has inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of motion. The truck is moving and then turns left. The load, due to its inertia, wants to continue moving in the original straight - line path. Relative to the truck (which has turned left), the load appears to shift to the right.

Answer:

It would cause the load to shift to the right.
