Physics in the pub

 

Spotted on the back of a fruit machine! A useful warning but you'd need some Physics or a painful experience to understand the implications. The problem will come when you tilt the machine to move it. The higher the centre of mass, the greater will be the resultant torque when the centre of mass is moved away from its equilibrium position, hence more strength will be required than if the centre of mass were lower.
