Homework Statement
A homogenous brick with length L, is on a horizontal surface. On this brick are put one after another other bricks, which are the same with the first. Every brick is moved along L/5 units horizontally from the predecessor one. How many bricks can be put without disordering the equilibrium?
Homework Equations
(L/2)/(L/5)=2.5
The Attempt at a Solution
Since the bricks are homogeneous then the center of gravity is in the middle. So in the point L/2. So (L/2)/(L/5)=2.5, so there are 2 bricks.
