Thanks Danger & schip666!, your answers did bring in some understanding. This is a "Just to know" question, but am curious to crack the equation/function/theory behind it. any direction is appreciated. May be i will try to post an image about it in the future.
here is what i wanted to find out:
1. Does the base area of a pole has any impact on it to stand upright?
2. What is the relation between the length of the pole against the base area ?
What should be the minimum base diameter of a 1 meter cylindrical pole ?
What should be the minimum base diameter of a 1 meter cubic pole ?
how are these computed ?
Does length of the pole impacts the base diameter ?
