This discussion focuses on determining whether an object will topple or move without conducting a Slope Test, specifically on a 15-degree slope. Key factors include the maximal lateral to normal force (static friction coefficient) and the lateral to normal distance between the center of mass (CoM) and the base of support boundary. The friction coefficient must be greater than or equal to Tan(15°), which is approximately 0.268. Additionally, the shape of the base, the position of the CoM, and any external forces significantly influence the object's stability.
PREREQUISITESEngineers, physicists, and designers involved in stability analysis of objects on slopes, as well as anyone developing devices intended for use on inclined surfaces.
There are two ratios involved:ao01 said:What should I pay attention to when calculating this?
I want a device to be able to be used on a 15-degree slope, and I want to be able to calculate this with a certain equation without testing.BvU said:So by what mechanism would this object topple then ?
Perhaps you can describe some scenario ?

What have you got to put in such an equation ?ao01 said:calculate this with a certain equation
