Calculate Tipping Force







Formula

The formula to calculate the Tipping Force (TF) is:

\[ TF = \frac{m \cdot g \cdot \cos(x) \cdot b}{a + b} \]

Where:

Tipping Force Definition

A tipping force is a measure of the total amount of force it would require if when applied to a lever, it would cause an object to tip over, i.e. become unstable.

Example Problem

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ TF = \frac{50 \cdot 9.81 \cdot \cos(30^\circ) \cdot 2}{1 + 2} = \frac{50 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 0.866 \cdot 2}{3} \approx 283.2 \, \text{N} \]

The Tipping Force is approximately 283.2 N.
