Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup to post to, if not then please accept my apologies.
I'm currently working on a software project that involves checking a tower of blocks to see if it is stable (whether it is going to topple). I remember doing a bit of this type of thing at Mechanics A-level, but never in three dimensions.
Could anyone recommend any resources (web pages, books, journals) that would help me with the calculations so I can implement a general version in my program.
At the moment I'm not interested in what happens after a block topples (this would be kinematics right?), just whether it will.
Thanks in advance I'd appreciate any help you could give.
Tom Davis
