The Best Answer for How far can the center of the box be from the end of the table before the board begins to tilt?
6kg board 60% is over the table and 40% is not
30cm*6kg*.6/2 = 20cm*6kg*.4/2 + 2kg*Xcm
The reason it is devided by halve is that is the center of mass ofver the table for that portion of the board…
54 = 24 + 2kg*Xcm
30 = 2kg*Xcm
X=15cm
