Make it through the table tennis net

Under all other important for sport of the table tennis to demanded equipment one thinks that a table tennis net is very important. The net is available in the correct size. This should not be more than the length of 6 thumbs. Table tennis net is connected on two his sides on the clip of the tennis. The net is also covered, so much that it applies to 6 thumbs or to 15.25 centimetres beyond the table of the table tennis about every side. There are so many manufacturers, can as supply the accessories as equipment, so that be easily collected he for the posts of the table tennis or the clips. In the majority time the accessories with the net of the table tennis are wrapped up, so that the high-class clips or the posts can be easily bought.

If you buy the net of the table tennis, make sure above all that his components are the upper quality. There should be nobody who is almost sparing on the material or the production. The table tennis net should be built by such a kind which is guilty it for a long-term of time. The height of the net of the table tennis should be slightly regulable. The tensioning system of the net of the tennis should be also reliable and can be easily used. The rope of the net of the table tennis should be added to the height of the net, so that the net of the table tennis hangs up rights on the rope. The net of the tennis of the brand table is the good equipment to shop. This is because he will increase the period of time of the net of the tennis just as well like you will help to play a better play. If you want in - the tennis of the play table severely, it is better to buy the net of the tennis of good-quality table. They should always remember that the high-class equipment is the last word in any play like the table tennis. The net of the tennis helps the ball to leave, look after the height, so that this is fair. The tension of the net of the tennis should also suit to make the good blows. That's why you should look at all abovementioned factors, before you buy the net of the tennis.

Is it possible, as the figure shows, to stack the bricks such that no part of the top brick is over the table?

Your task in a science contest is to stack four identical uniform bricks on the edge of a table, each of length L, so that the top brick is as far to the right as possible without the stack falling over. Is it possible, to stack the bricks such that no part of the top brick is over the table? Answer this question by determining the maximum possible value of d.

Express your answer in terms of the variable .
d= _________________

lol, I haven't seen this one for a while...

The top brick is positioned such that its centre of mass is directly above the end of the next brick.

The system of two bricks has a new centre of mass. This centre is more towards the 2nd brick than for just the top brick. So this new centre of mass is placed over the end of the next brick. etc Make sure you grasp this fully by drawing it out...

I want to call the distance to the centre of a brick L units (i.e. half a brick length is L units not a whole brick).

===
For the top brick, brick1, its centre of mass is L from its outer edge (the most overhanging edge)
This point is now placed directly over the end of brick2.
====
For brick2, its own centre of mass will be L further toward the table ie L + L from the outer edge of the brick1 (because brick1 places it centre of mass directly above brick2's end).

The combined centre of mass is therefore at

(L + 2L) / 2 ie average of the two bricks

= L + L/2 distance from the brick1's outer edge

This point is now placed directly over the end of brick3.
====
For brick3 its own centre of mass will be L further toward the table ie L + {L + L/2} from the outer edge of brick1 (because brick1 and brick2 place their combined centre of mass directly above brick3's end).

The combined centre of mass is therefore at

2 {L + L/2} + (L + {L + L/2})
------------------------------------
3

ie two lots of mass at {L + L/2} and 1 at L + {L + L/2} , averaged.

This rather excellently simplifies to L + L/2 + L/3
=====
Continue as before and we see for brick4 the centre of mass is L + L/2 + L/3 + L/4 from the end of brick1.
====
BTW, this can be extended indefinitely to L/N and it is non convergent - there is no limit to how far the top brick can stick out!
====
The centre of mass of all four brick is now placed directly over the edge of the table. Thus the total distance to the outer end of brick1 is L + L/2 + L/3 + L/4

L{ 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4} = L{25/12}

The question doesn't actually define 'd' but I shall take it to be the distance form the edge of the table to the nearest edge of brick1. Since brick1 is 2L long...

d = L{25/12} - 2L = L/12

now just recall that I made my L half the size of the one in the question, so really

d = L'/24

===============================================
Edit:

If you like computer programming or recursion then you can try an interesting way to get the same result...

Let the distance from the combined centre of mass of n bricks to the outer end of the first brick be defined as some function D(n).

So we can describe the centre of mass of the bricks above brick n as being at a distance D(n-1), even though we don't know what the function D() actually is.

As previously, by inspection we see that the individual centre of mass of the nth brick is L from the centre of mass of the combined n-1 bricks above it. ie at L + D(n-1)

Then the combined centre of mass of all n bricks is given by averaging 1 mass at a distance L + D(n-1) and (n-1) masses at a distance D(n-1), like we did before, except that this time we don't know what the function D() is...

Then

D(n) =

{ L + D(n-1) } + (n - 1)xD(n-1)
---------------------------------------
n

...

L + n D(n-1)
-----------------
n

...

D(n) = L/n + D(n-1)

but we know that D(1) = L

So we can call this function recursively n times until the recursion terminates at D(1) = L , yielding the same sequence as before.
