Tilting (AQA A-Level Mathematics): Flashcards

Occurs when rigid body rotates about edge due to unbalanced moment

$\text{Force} \times \text{Perpendicular Distance}$

Point where entire weight of body acts

Resultant force line passes outside base of support

$F \times h$

$mg \times \frac{w}{2}$

$F \geq \frac{mgw}{2h}$

$29.4 \text{ N}$

Reduces height, decreasing tilting moment

Increases stabilising moment
