f gravity 0 and 0 of the two portions,the perpendiculars OG and 0E, and take the edge D asan axis of moments. The weight of the portion ABCF isequal to 6whx, and its lever arm, DG, is equal to h + \x.The weight of the portion AJDFis Siohs, and its lever arm,DF, is f h. In case of an equilibrium,… … 8. Required the conditions of stability of asquare pillar acted upon by a force obliqueto the axis of the pillar, and applied at thecentre of gravity of the pillars upperbase. SOLUTION. Denote the intensity of the oblique forceby P, its inclination to the vertical by a, HI1 a the length or breadth…
