I agree on the equivalence principal. But wanted to check what would be the scenario if an object is unstable when held horizontally. Will it try to get into a stable position even when falling down in motion?
Thank you for your reply. Wanted to confirm this:
The height from which the object will be dropped is 1m.
1) Will this happen even if the mass is distributed evenly? Eg: I may choose to distribute it such that the mass rises upto 2 cm or I may also distribute it unevenly such that it rises...
Say I have a cuboid box (eg 120 * 60 * 10cm (lbh)). Is there a way I can add non-uniform mass to it to force the center of gravity on a preferred point (eg making one half heavier than other) - and then when I drop it horizontally or vertically, it always touches the ground at same side (but may...
