Unlimited Overhang Four identical textbooks, each of length L, are stacked near the edge of a table, as shown in Figure 9-45. The books are stacked in such a way that the distance they overhang the edge of the table, d, is maximized Find the maximum overhang distance d in terms of L In particular show that d > L that is. the top book is completely to the right of the table edge (In principle. the overhang distance d can be made as large as desired simply by increasing the number of books in the stack )
