Why is the Tower of Pisa Leaning?

Is the Tower of Pisa Leaning?

Everybody knows that in the city of Pisa in Italy, there is a beautiful tower that "leans" Very ew people know the reason of its leaning Every year thousands of people go there to see the der made of white marble The walls are four meters thick at its base. It has eight story and in 55 meters high. There is a stairway which leads to the top and has 300 steps From as top one can have a magnificent view of the city and the sea which is ten kilometer away.   

Leaning Tower of Pisa, Italy.

Now the question arises: What makes this tower lean and why it does not fall? At the top, the tower is five  meters away from the perpendicular. It leans over by five meters If we drop ball from it's top, a would hit the ground five meters away from its base. It was intended as a bell tower for the cathedral which is nearby. Its construction was started in 1174 and completed in 1350 When the construction started nobody thought that it would lean, but it started leaning after the third story was completed. The foundations of the tower were laid sand and this may explain why it leans. Since the tower started leaning, the plans of its constructs were modified and the tower was completed. During the last one hundred years the tower has leaned another 30 cm.

Now the question arises: Even while leaning, why does it not tall?  According to science anything well remain stable till the vertical line drawn from its center of gravity passes through The center of gravity is that point where the whole of the mass of the body is  supposed to be concentrated. Till today the vertical line from the center of gravity has been falling within the base of the tower. That is why it has not fallen. It is believed that when the tower leans further and the line from its center of gravity pass out of its base, it will fall down According to some engineers the tower will definitely fall one day.
