A rectangular brick is kept on a table with a part of its length projecting out. It remains at rest if the length projected is slightly less than half the total length but it falls down if the length projected is slightly more than half the total length. Give reason.

उत्तर
The centre of mass (CM) of a rectangular block lies in the middle of the block . When the block is projected less than half of its length (CM being over the table), no net force acts on it . Thus, no net torque acts upon the body . But if the block is projected more than half of its length outside the table (CM being outside the table), gravitational force acts along the CM of the block . This force produces a moment along the edge of the table . This rotates the block, and as a result, it falls down.
