Summary
| Description |
English: When an object is tipped there are three possible situations: (a) the line of action passes through the base of support. In this case the torque returns the object to his previous position. (b) the line of action runs through the pivot point at the edge of the base of support. In this case the resulting torque is zero and the object is in unstable equilibrium. (c) the line of action is outside the base of support. In this case the torque lets the object fall over to the side. |
