Hi All,
If I have an object (see drawing in attachment), of 6.09 m in height and a distance to C of G = 0.79 m, how can I work out what restraint would be required to stop this object from toppling over if enough force was placed on the structure to make it topple? (assuming a flat surface)
The weight of this object is 496 Kgs and is supported by x 4 ‘outriggers’ to support the structure, I have worked out the potential energy (or work required to tip the object on a flat surface)of this to be 3843.95 Joules or n/m.
Distance between outriggers is 1.58 m across ‘wheelbase’, it is 1.35 m across the width of the structure
My aim is to make a recommendation on a suitable figure for a restraint method, best case scenario would be to secure this object at all 4 corners or ‘outriggers’, with something like a ratchet strap…
This is part of a larger problem I have been working on (THANKS NVN), this is the last part to solve of this problem, I am a little stuck!
Thanks kindly for your assistance.
