Stacked Books Overhanging a Table.

Stack of 31 books overhanging the edge of a table, demonstrating principles of equilibrium and center of mass with a calculated overhang of 2.01362 book lengths, along with mathematical expressions for the harmonic series sum.

This illustration depicts the classic physics and mathematics problem of stacking books to achieve the maximum overhang without tipping over. It demonstrates the principles of equilibrium, center of mass, and harmonic series, making it suitable for physics or calculus textbooks focused on statics and infinite series.
