A brand new semi truck is traveling down the road at 65 mph (29 m/s) going North. A strong gust of wind blows diagonally into the truck with 25 mph (11 m/s). The operator's manual of the truck says that the vehicle will topple off the road if experiencing any wind velocity over 22 mph (10 m/s) against the side of the truck. Simple question: Is the truck going to topple over?
