Since nobody has come up with a solution I am beginning to think that there is no equation for an object falling over. I was also hoping to work out the velocity that the top of the pole would hit the ground. If someone could explain the difficulties of why there is no easy solution that...

The base of the pole at ground level has completely rusted. One side of the pole at the base crumbles slightly just enough for the pole to not be vertical and so the pole is not balanced and the pole falls over due to gravity. Another scenario would be that a person tried to balance a pole on...

Homework Statement The flag pole is 10m tall. The base of the pole has rusted and the pole topples over. What is the time taken for the pole to hit the ground? s = distance = 10m u = initial velocity = 0 m/s v = final velocity = unknown a = g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s2...
