The Leaning Tower of Pisa is approximately 55 m tall and 7 m in diameter. The horizontal displacement of the top of the tower from the vertical is approximately 5 m. Its mass is approximately 3.2 × 106 kg. If you model the tower as a cylinder and assume that its weight acts at the center, what is the magnitude of the moment exerted by the weight about the point at the center of the tower’s base?
