Friday, 11/7: Center of Mass and Toppling

Basically, if the center of mass of an object is above (or below for hanging objects) a support, it is fine. If the center of mass is not above the support or base of the object, the object will topple. Today we played with several examples of balance and toppling, including trying to tough our toes when standing up against a wall. Fun :)
