Practise explaining stability from centre of gravity position, base width and the line of action of weight in objects such as buses and lamps.
How this is tested
- compare lamps or stands using lower centre of gravity and wider base
- explain toppling when the line of action of weight falls outside the base
- link loading passengers or containers high up to reduced stability
