Problem 40P
In the previous problem, (a) what is the minimum height where the force F can be applied so that the crate begins to tip before sliding? (b) What is the magnitude of the force in this case?
Reference Problem:
• • • IP A uniform crate with a mass of 16.2 kg rests on a floor with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.571. The crate is a uniform cube with sides 1.21 m in length, (a) What horizontal force applied to the top of the crate will initiate tipping? (b) If the horizontal force is applied halfway to the top of the crate, it will begin to slip before it lips. Explain.

ANSWER:
Step 1 of 4:
In this question, we need to find minimum height where force F can be applied such that the crate begins to tip before sliding
In part b, we need to find the magnitude of the force for part a
Data given
Mass of crate
Coefficient of static friction
Length of crate side
