A uniform cubical crate is 0.850 m on each side and weighs 500 N. It rests on a floor with one edge against a very small, fixed obstruction. At what least height above the floor must a horizontal force of magnitude 400 N be applied to the crate to tip it?

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the height at which a horizontal force of 400 N must be applied to the crate to cause it to tip over. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions and weight of the crate:** - The crate is a cube with each side measuring 0.850 m. - The weight of the crate (W) is 500 N. ...
