So I need to find equations for the force required to tip over a cylindrical object. This is fairly straight forward in the case when the force is applied above the centre of mass, by taking moments about the pivot corner. However, in the case where the force is applied below the centre of mass so that the object falls towards where the force was applied, I understand that the pivot corner has to 'slide' so that it is underneath the centre of mass, but I am struggling to quantify this in an equation.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
