A truck tips over when its centre of gravity moves:

ABehind the support
BOutside the support
CInside the support
DAbove the support
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Outside the support
1. While the weight line falls inside the base, it settles back. 2. Once it passes beyond the base it keeps turning. 3. So it tips when the centre of gravity is outside the support. _Source: OpenStax University Physics Volume 1, Chapter 12, Static Equilibrium and Elasticity._
