Vehicles carrying inflammable materials usually have chains that hang down and drag on the ground. Why? |
| Answer» Solution :When a vehicle is in motion, its tyres RUB against the road and get charged due to friction. Further, due to friction of air, the BODY of the vehicle also get charged. If the accumulated charge BECOMES excessive, sparking may occur and the inflammable material may catch fire. Since the chain. ropes are touching the ground, the charge leaks to the earth. Hence, the DANGER of fire is avoided. | |
