Here, we need to balance the torques and set them equal to zero. Obviously, as we need torque, we need lever arms too which you did not provide. You provided only mass.
so, if m1 is the mass of table and r1 is the lever arm (distance from the center of table to the point where mass m2 is or where the right leg is)
then we have
m1 * g * r1 - m2 * g * x = 0
solve for x, we get
x = m1 * g * r1 / m2 * g

How close to the edge of the 19.0 kg table shown in (Figure 1) can a 56.0-kg person sit without tipping it over? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A block of mass m1 sits on a block of mass m2. Block m2 rests on a frictionless surface. The coefficient of static friction between block m1and m2 is µ. What is the maximum force F that can be applied to block m2 if block m1 is not to slip across the surface of m2? Express in terms of m1, m2, g, and µ.

A gymnast with mass m1 = 48 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 124 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam. *How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip? Now the gymnast (not holding any additional...

Two blocks of mass m1 and m2 > m1 are drawn above. The block m1 sits on a frictionless inclined plane tipped at an angle θ with the horizontal as shown. Block m2 is connected to mı by a massless unstretchable string that runs over a massless, frictionless pulley to hang over a considerable drop. At time t = 0 the system is released from rest. a) Draw a force/free body diagram for the two masses. b) Find the magnitude of the...
In the figure to the right, M2 has more mass than M1 and M1 has more mass than M3. The questions refer to the magnitudes of tensions and weights. There is friction between the horizontal plane and M2 (). M2 is observed to travel at a constant speed. Assume that the pulleys are frictionless and have negligible mass.

Mass m1 = 5.80 kg is connected to mass m2 = 3.50 kg by a light string that passes over a frictionless pulley. The pulley has a moment of inertia of 0.490 kg · m2 and a radius of 0.280 m. Mass m2 sits on a frictionless horizontal surface. The string does not slip while in motion on the pulley. Find the tension force T1 on mass m1 in N
