Explanation / Answer

The cabinent can be moved until the CG is past the vertical line of the rotation point. After the CG crosses the line the weight of the cabinet will keep the rotation going in the direction.

Find the angle from one corner to the CG
angle = atan(52/15)

         = 73.9 deg

So, to make that angle vertical
90 deg = x + 73.9
          x = 16.1 deg

So, you can rotate the cabinet 16.1 deg before it starts to tip.
