Detailed explanation-1: -The moment the size of the base support will be increased the stability of the respective object will start to change. If the line of gravity will be central to the base of support, the stability of the object will increase. The object with a larger mass will have a greater stability.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some general rules about structural stability: the lowest the center of gravity, the more difficult it is to make a structure topple over, therefore the more stable is the structure. It is more difficult to make a structure with a wide base topple over so, the wider the base therefore, the more stable the structure.
Detailed explanation-3: -For increased stability while standing, the feet should be spread apart, giving a larger base of support. Stability is also increased by bending the knees, which lowers the center of gravity toward the base of support. A cane, a crutch, or a walker increases the stability of the user by widening the base of support.
