Final answer:
The load imposed off centered to another object creates torque, causing the object to rotate or move. The magnitude and direction of torque depend on the location of the center of mass and the distance between the center of mass and the pivot point.
Step-by-step explanation:
When an object is off centered to another object, the load imposed on the second object creates a torque. This torque causes the second object to rotate or move. The direction and magnitude of the torque depend on the location of the center of mass of the load and the distance between the center of mass and the pivot point. If the center of mass is outside the base of support, the torque will cause the object to tip over. If the center of mass remains within the base of support, the object will return to its original position.
