comment Where inside a large uniformly dense, symmetrical sphere would its gravity toward the center be the strongest?
Sorry to those who feel the question is worded so incorrectly. Apparently I do not understand how to write it correctly but those who answered it understood it just fine. If it is unclear then feel free to edit it yourselves.

My question is the first paragraph plus the caveats. After the line breaks are my thoughts.

comment Block on a block problem, with friction
@symplectomorphic That is an interesting example, I will need to write out the problem and see if it depends on the top mass being less than the bottom. But basically you are saying that if I apply a very small force on the top block, over time as the force gets larger and larger the top block will slide off the bottom.

comment Block on a block problem, with friction
@symplectomorphic In the case that the surface under the bottom block is frictionless? What force is stopping the bottom block from moving with the top block no matter what force is being applied (to the top block) in the horizontal?

comment Block on a block problem, with friction
@Chris Gerig Does this imply that no force applied to the top block in the same horizontal direction as the defined x-axis will cause the top block to move with respect to the bottom block? Intuitively I feel that enough impulse would achieve this, is that not good intuition?

Okay, sorry I asked the question twice, you already stated in the first sentence the answer to my question albeit in a fancy way of saying that the net torque is zero about any point, well done.
