Some heavy boxes are to be loaded along with some empty boxes on a cart. Which boxes should be put on the cart first and why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The heavy boxes should be loaded first so that the CG of the loaded cart remains in the lowest position. This ensures stability of equilibrium.
