The top of a tin can is removed and the empty can is inverted over a pair of billiard balls on a table, as shown in figure 5. for certain combinations of sizes and weights, the configuration shown is stable, but for other combinations, the can tips over when released. it is proposed to set up a demonstration for a temperance lecture by using in sequence a frozen-orange-juice can and a beer can with the same pair of billiard balls. investigate whether tipping will occur for the following sizes and weights: diameter of ball weight of ball diameter of can weight of can with lid removed 0.57 n assume that all the contacts are frictionless orange juice beer 45 mm 2.0n 70 mm 1.0n 45 mm 2.0n 50 mm figure 5
