A rectangular block has a square base measuring `axxa` and its height is `h`. It moves on a horizontal surface in a direction perpendicular to one of the edges. The coefficient of friction is `mu`. It will topple if

A

`mu gt (h)/(a)`

B

`mu gt (a)/(h)`

C

`mu gt (2a)/(h)`

D

`mu gt (a)/(2h)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts


`C` : center of mass
`tau_(C)=f(h)/(2)-N(a)/(2)ge0` for toppling
`muN(h)/(2)gtN(a)/(2)`
`mugt(a)/(h)`
