Okay Assumption 1000kg mass Assumption Force acting 1.5m from ground Weight Moment 2000kg * 1m Force Moment = F*1m Therefore when F>2000kg topple occurs (ie 20KN) (Does not matter about cog height)

Tiny Tim thanks for the quick reply. Bit lost with your reply though.Not sure how to figure the force required

Hi All, If I have block measuring 2m wide by 2m high and 3m long sat on the ground which has a centre of gravity 0.3m from the base how can I calculate the force required to cause the block to topple over. I am trying to calculate wind speed(force) required and how much effect Cog has...
