A cube of side rests on a rough floor. It is subjected to a steady horizontal pull
, exerted a distance
above the floor as shown in Fig.
. As
is increased, the block will either begin to slide, or begin to tip over. Determine the coefficient of static friction \(\mu_{s}\) so that
the block begins to slide rather than tip; (b) the block begins to tip. [Hint: Where will the normal force on the block act if it tips?]
