Taking Moment about B

Total Overturning Moment ΣMO = 1.08 KN.M

Total Resisting Moment ΣMR = 1.39 KN.M

Net Moment = (ΣMR-ΣMO) ΣM = 0.31 KN.M
Factor of safety against Sliding = (µXΣW)/PH FS = 1.71 >1.2 Hence Safe
Factor of safety against Overturning = ΣMR/ΣMO FO = 1.29 >1.2 Hence Safe

Distance of CG from B = ΣM/ΣW X' = 0.03 m

Eccentricity = (B2/2)-X' e = 0.084 m

Allowable Eccentricity = B2/6 ea = 0.038 m Safe

Base pressure ΣW/Area = 43.78 KN/m 2
