Two bricks of uniform density are stacked as shown in Figure P8.74. What is the maximum overhang
Question:
Two bricks of uniform density are stacked as shown in Figure P8.74. What is the maximum overhang distance d that can be achieved? Consider how the torque on each brick???s center of mass must be in equilibrium about the balance point (the edge of the ledge).

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
