Distablizing force= 4.32 KN/M 0.50 M
Overturning

Distablizing moment = 2.16 KN-M

Stablizing moment = 8.39 KN-M
Ratio = 3.89 >= 2 safty factor
safety factor= 2
the bottom width is safe for overturning
Sliding

Distablizing force = 4.32 KN

total vertical force = 25.65 KN
stablizing force = 9.34 KN
Ratio = 2.16 >= 1.5 safty factor
the bottom width is safe for sliding
Bearing pressure

Min stress Q 3.03 < 280

Max stress Q 70.25 < 280
Check for tension failure safe for tension failure
Check for bearing failure safe for bearing
