As Shown in the Figure, a Uniform Rectangular Crate 0 $h = 0.69 \mathrm {~m}$

question 48

Short Answer

As shown in the figure, a uniform rectangular crate 0.40 m wide and 1.0 m tall sits on a horizontal surface. The crate weighs 460 N, and its center of gravity is at its geometric center. A horizontal force of magnitude F is applied at a distance h above the floor. Friction at the floor is great enough to prevent the crate from sliding. If $h = 0.69 \mathrm {~m}$ what minimum value of F is required to make the crate start to tip over?
