Two cubes A and B of same shape, size and mass are placed on a rough surface in the same manner. Equal forces are applied on the both cubes. But at the cube A, the force is applied at the top in horizontal direction. But at the cube B just above the center of mass of the cube in the same manner. Then,

A

A will topple first

B

B will topple first

C

Both will topple at the same time

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
