Tilting a Wobbly Chair
Cross, Rod
Physics Education, v52 n2 Article 023006 Mar 2017
If a small object is placed under the front leg of a chair, the chair tilts backwards. If the object is placed under a rear leg, the chair tilts sideways. The effect is surprising but can be analysed in terms of elementary physics.
