- In this video (the second in a series of 2), I walk through a few examples involving application of moments and rotational equilibrium to solve. This is for PLTW IED Activity 5.7 Force and Stability.

Thanks ... this helped me figure out the tipping risk of a Cable Tower for the home gym - I calculated some "it will tip if..." weights and went to (carefully) verify. Now I know the force I that the ceiling support needs to be rated for AND I know how much impact adding weight to the base will have on that number.
Thank you, this helped me a lot
Amazing, thanks
1min in and it clicked, thanks mate
How would you figure out how much weight could be in top drawer when its pulled out, before the cabinet tipped over on top of you?
Hey, my roomate and I are having an argument wondering if you could weigh in on it. If you lifted and balanced a 2 ton truck with only 1 jack stand in the center of the body of the truck. Would the truck be sensitive enough to tipping that it would fall off the jack stand by simply opening a door.
thanks so much!
Hi does this mean that the tiping force and height of the applied force is the same for all vertical positions of CoG. For instance in this example take two cases with 1) a mass of 20kg is in the bottom drawer and 2) 20kg is in the top drawer. Will the tiping force and height will be same in both cases.
Good job.
Does the height of the center of gravity play no role? I mean wouldn't it make a difference whether most of the weight where gathered in the bottom of the object vs. at the top? Just curios.
I think the force would remain the same, however as the centre of gravity is lower it would need to be tilted further to tip completely. (An object tips when the centre of gravity passes the rotation point)
Its the perpendicular distance x magnitude, when perpendicular equals 0, the force is negligable. Obvioisly because 0x anything is is 0
Great video! I just came here to bash imperial, that's all.
major bruh "moment"
There really is no situation where students should be taught you can express a force in pounds....it's shit physics and makes no sense. We have SI units for a reason and just having an American accent doesn't make it ok to use the wrong units
I live in America. You will no doubt be surprised to learn that we do not only use pounds as a measurement of force in physics classes but, additionally, we express real-life weights and forces with pounds. Whether I am buying vegetables in a checkout line at the grocery store, or using a torque wrench to tighten a bolt, the force will almost certainly be expressed in pounds. Crazy, right? It's almost as though America didn't adopt the metric system!
