Answer:

This question heavily relies on the weight of the table and the weight of the person sitting on it, if a 90 pound person sits on the side of a 40 pound table, it will topple over.

Explanation: Tables are generally have a 50/50 weight distribution ratio so that they are even on the ground and can stay upright, but if a table is too light and the person or object sitting on it is heavier than the side they/it is placed on, it will fall.
