Question: A T beam is resting on one end. The beam is uniform and has the same depth throughout ( the same dimension perpendicular

A "T" beam is resting on one end. The beam is uniform and has the same depth throughout (the same dimension perpendicular to the plane of the figure). The dimensions are w0.089m,h=1.3m and L=0.32m. What is the maximum thickness ( t ) such that the beam will remain upright (not topple over)?[Hint: if it tips over, it will rotate about an axis at the "dot" at the bottom of the beam].
Your answer should be in m, but enter only the numerical part in the box.
