Question #4: The can in the figure below is thin-walled and uniform density. Thin-walled indicates that the can thickness can be ignored in center-of-mass calculations. What is the maximum value of the distance "x" by which the can may overhang without rotating off the edge? Assume the can is open on the right and closed on the left. What would the value of "x" be if the can were open on the left and closed on the right?
