A block of dimensions `axxaxx2a` is kept on an inclined plane of inclination `37^(@)`. The longer side is perpendicular to the plane. The co`-` efficient of friction between the block and the plane is `0.8.` By numerical analysis find whether the block will topple or not.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
Since torque is not balanced , it will topple .
If ever it will topple , it will topple about `A`. It can be verified that the block is not sliding.
Now, `tau _(A)=mg sin theta xxa-mg cos theta xx(a)/(2)`

`=tau_(A)=(mag)/(5)` which is non`-` zero.
Since torque is not balanced, it will topple .
