This is a home work problem shown in many Fundamental Physics textbooks .
* How to stack four uniform blocks on top of a table, so that they extend as far right as possible and still remain stable.
* How should each be positioned?
* Can the top block have its entire length beyond the edge of the table.
Enjoy the fun of Physics!
