This is a home work problem shown in many Fundamental Physics textbooks .

  * How to stack four uniform blocks on top of a table, so that they extend as far right as possible and still remain stable.
  * How should each be positioned?
  * Can the top block have its entire length beyond the edge of the table.

Hello.  Not sure who would have the answer for this, but I was interested in finding the center block for latest news and downloads/links that are used here as they are quite nice.  Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Stang
