As Shown in the Figure, a Uniform Rectangular Crate

question 51

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 m, what minimum value of F is required to make the crate start to tip over?
