An object is in unstable equilibrium if it does not return to its equilibrium position after being pushed slightly, but falls away from it. Toppling Over
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            A body is in unstable equilibrium if when slightly moved its centre of gravity falls.
