Hi! Thanks for your response. I am saying that two momentums or torques will co-exist: one created by the offset cylinder in an axis and other one created by the normal and shear forces, corresponding to the weight of the set. What I don't know is how to analyse these two torques acting in...

Yes, you have a single object but with a different density distribution, since one is a steel cylinder and the other one is a rock cylinder. I have found the COG easily, but I am struggling to find a way for estimating the point of toppling of the entire set. You have momentums created in two...

Dear anorlunda: Thanks for your response. It's right, but I have already estimated the centre of gravity. The problem I found is that this centre of gravity of the complete body (composed by the other two), falls out of a vertical symmetry plane, so I don't know how to calculate momentum from...

Dear colleagues of Physics Forum: I am trying to estimate the inclination (angle) at which the figure presented with the enclosed photo, composed by two cylinders of different densities (ρ1=2650 kg/m3 and ρ2=7000 kg/m3), will topple, when progressively inclined from a horizontal position. Let's...

Dear all: First of all, thank you very much for allowing me to be part of this forum. My name is Ignacio Pérez-Rey and I am a PhD student in rock mechanics in the city of Vigo (northwest of Spain). I think I will get here some support and interesting discussions about some questions I have...
