Question
Give scientific reason for the following:
There are chances of toppling when a truck takes a sharp turn especially when it is not fully loaded

Solution
When a truck is not fully loaded, its COG is at a high point and hence the turning moment of the weight is much greater, thus, the truck will be quite unstable and there are chances of toppling, when a truck takes a sharp turn.
