please tell me ,how we got this ph=40(w sin x)+20(w cos x)

The equation you mentioned is the moment about point A.

W sin (theta) = x-component of W or Wx and
W cos (theta) = y-component of W or Wy.

IT'S VARIGNON'S THEOREM AS IT STATES MOMENT SUM ABOUT ANY PT. =SUM OF ALL MOMENTS DUE TO ALL FORCES =>FORCE*DIST = MOMENT

then why dont u take w cos [theta] multiply with perpendicular distance to get moment about A
if y- component is wcos[thetA] then whAt About normAl reAction

whAt About normAl reAction

Analyze the forces involved when the block starts to tip over point A and you will find it why.
