Wazua and Wazuans lets dedicate this post to enlightened one another on some of the general questions/things we need some general information on.

For example, I have noted that heavt trailers/tankers normally have some set of two wheels/tires hanging loose just between the steering tires/wheels and the propelling tires/wheels.
What is the purpose of this hanging wheels?

@impunity
am not sure about this, i think when the weight supercedes a given tonnage the set of wheels are used to reduce the pressure destributed onto the road surface protecting our pavements.

Most of the time you find that the wheel is completely worn out to the threads.

EASY!!...If you are driving one way without load,you do not need all the tires but once you load,the two hanging tires become hardy as they support the load.....You must also wonder why trailers have two 1/4 inch chains hanging from either side of rear or front mudguards of trucks and make this annoying squilling sound as the lorry moves...NO?smile

@Njung'e most of the wheels I have been seeing are worn out, why these two and not the other two?
d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!

And then there are these glittering blue lights young and sometimes maturing adults put besides their cars on the front and rear bumpers, what for?
d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!

@Impunity- it is purely to save on tread wear, nothing mo nothing less. A fully loaded lorry needs all its tyres through which its weight is distributed but the same lorry when empty doesn't need all the wheels & it is just wasting good tread depth letting them run.
That is the reason, if you saw 1 or 2 with worn out ones take them as exceptions.

Those glittering blue rights are just madoidos/ fancy decorations.

Can someone tell me why most engines (cars, generators,ships,etc) generally noisy?

On a different note why is it that when a plane is about to land they have to sort of take a curve or loop on one side and then approach the runway? why cant they just approach the runaway in a direct or straight manner.
One's first step in wisdom is to question everything - and one's last is to come to terms with everything
