I am trying to determine at what angle a floor lamp would begin to fall over(tilt over). The lamp has a rectangular base and is a little top heavy. Once i determine its CG, how can i apply force diagrams and mathematics to determine at what angle it would begin to tilt?
I could increase the rectangular footprint.
I could lower its CG by adding weight to the footprint.
There are many variables in geometry to consider. To simplify the project, how would you determine at what angle a 2"X4"x6' long board would begin to tilt?
Thanks Much
