Hi all,

I need to find base length x which would support the pillar and wouldn't topple over (weight of 2.1kg on right hand side of pillar)
Thanks in advance
Hand-drawn sketch on squared paper of a vertical column labelled A, 1210 mm tall, standing on a horizontal base labelled B with width marked x; notes read A = Column = 2.6 kg and B = Base.
 
Hi Dr. Courtney,

What further information do I need to supply / obtain?

Many thanks
