Long story short...
I have a lightweight 32" LED TV that I need to mount in my office at work. Building management will not let me wall mount it, so I plan on building a stand to attach my wall mount to. I want to take a standard wall stud, and attach it to a base.
INFO:
-The height of the stand needs to be about 6 ft tall
-TV is 20 lbs
-The wall mount is 12 lbs and of the articulating type, and its arm can extend a maximum of 20 inches (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WYVBR0/?tag=pfamazon01-20)
Approximately how heavy does the base need to be to ensure that the system will not tip over? I loosely understand the concept of torque and center of gravity, but it has been many years since I was last in a classroom. THANK YOU!
