As the resultant is to lie within the kern zone of the base of block, X should be either equal to or greater than one third of base width The resultant of the force 'R' would cut the base at distance of X from A such that L*W*b - To*h W b h = = 0.525 m 0.225 m

As the resultant is to lie within the kern zone of the base of the block, X should be either to or greater than 1/3 of the base width Therefore X = = Therefore , length of block B/3 0.350 m W*B/3 + To*h W*b W*B/3 To*h W*b = = = 746 kg 225 kg 1119 kg
