What weight difference will tip an Olympic bar on a rack?
If an olympic bar is in a rack where the rack is touching approximately where the arrows are in the following picture, how more much weight has to be added to one side before that side will fall to the ground if the other side isn't held?

I'm just looking for an approximate and practical number. By practical I mean that I wouldn't want to get close to the point where it is tipping either since removing a weight at that point might upset the balance. I have never removed more than 45 from one side at a time and I don't think my gym would appreciate any experimentation :-P
