To solve the problem of finding the maximum angle \(\theta\) for which the crate does not topple on the inclined ramp, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Crate The crate experiences several forces: - The gravitational force \(Mg\) acting downwards at its center of mass. - The normal force \(R_2\) acting perpendicular to the surface of the ramp. - The frictional force \(F\) acting parallel to the surface of the ramp. ...
