Why do the brakes lock on a lightly loaded truck with a particular brake pressure than a heavier one?
The brakes are designed to handle that truck at the loaded weight - when under that weight, a bit more finesse needs to be used when braking.
Which is faster to stop an empty truck or loaded truck?
Depends on the vehicle and braking system. In a commercial vehicle, the brakes are designed specifically for stopping a loaded vehicle, and an unloaded truck can actually require more stopping distance than a loaded truck.
Does fully loaded truck or empty truck have more momentum?
Newton's laws of Motion state that Momentum is a product of Mass times velocity. Momentum = Mass x velocity. Therefore, a loaded truck needs a larger force to move it, and once it's moving, it needs more powerful brakes to stop it. So a fully loaded truck will have more momentum and be harder to stop than an empty truck.
Why is it more difficult to stop a fully loaded truck than a unloaded one?

Which is heavier a ten wheeler dump truck loaded with sand or ten wheeler mixer loaded with cement?
Assuming they have the same wheelbase, they would both have the same legal gross weight limit, in accordance with Bridge Law Formula.

The dump truck would be able to haul more weight in terms of product, as it would have the lighter tare (empty) weight of the two.

Does a truck take an equal amount of time to stop as does a car?
of course not.....and that's because of the vehicles weight. A truck is heavier than a car so more mass has to be stopped and if the truck is loaded it takes again more time. It´s physical, the law of the moving materia ;)
How do you drive Mercedes actros 4040?
Driving is a truck requires more teaching than what would be feasible for an answer on this website. Learning to drive a truck properly requires hands-on training. Though it can be pointed out that European trucks, unlike American marques, use synchronised transmissions, which makes them much more accommodating for inexperienced truck drivers to learn how to drive.
Why is a truck filled with cotton more likely to overturn when negotiating a turn?
It's not the nature of the goods, but how the vehicle is loaded and driven, that is the problem. If it is over-loaded, raising the combined centre of gravity, the vehicle will become unstable and hard to control.
