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?  Portfolio: Sold

@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. African parents don't know how to say sorry.. the closest you will get to a sorry is a 'have you eaten'

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?  Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

@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

Intelli@, Noise is a form of energy.In this case a product of burning fuel. @Mburuke, Am not an aviator but i guess this has to do with wind,it's direction and speed.Take the simple example of a ferry or swimming across a river.Can you approach the opposite landing on a direct line without factoring in the direction and speed of the current?.

Planes approaching a country, region, have flight paths so there is no confusion, bumpers hitting, kupigiana mahorni, overlapping, pilots showing each other fingers etc in the sky, when they get close to the airport, they then have to align themselves to the runway, hence the turns. A New Kenya

The interpretation of planes and landing is quite different here in this, this, this,.......... ridiculous place.  quot; Why is this so? I wonder.....

@Mburuke,

Has any Wazuan been in a situation where the [lane took off or landed without loop dance! @impunity i think nostoppingthis has addressed ur query!

@nostoppin', You are right.....and did you know for the same reason it is good measure for the fuel attendant to earth your car before fuelling? Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.

If fluoride in water causes brown teeth, why does it happen that some people using the same water will not get their teeth discoloured? What a wicked man I am!The things I want to do,I don't do.The things I don't want to do I find myself doing

Tell me more about those hanging chains, how does the trailer acquire charges. The other day i step out of my car and while closing the door i was slighly electrocuted. I didn't know what it was until now. Should i hang a chain in my car too.
