A table has a heavy circular top of radius `1m` and mass `2kg`. It has four light legs of length `1m` fixed symmetrically on its circumference. Find the maximum mass (in kg) which may be placed anywhere on this table without toppling it. (take `sqrt(2)=1.4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
5
`2g(R 1/(sqrt(2)))gemg(R-R/(sqrt(2)))`
`m le 2/(sqrt(2)-1)=5kg`
