Not too long ago, I was sitting at autoline waiting for my parents to pick me up, when some people drove up in a red car and handed me a bag full of burgers from McDonalds. Being the bored little child I was, I ate six burgers and piled the remaining three on my physics paraphernalia. And look! The stack is in static equilibrium as it does not move anywhere. The net force in the x direction and the net force in the y direction are both zero, as well as the net torque. A passerby flailed in amazement at the awkward position of the burgers and their mind was blown by the amazing physics behind the concept. I hope you are not. By the way, I ate all those burgers afterwards, so none for the freeloaders.
