A solid cube is placed on rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between them is `mu,` where `mu = lt 1//2.` A variable horizontal force is applied on the cub's upper face perpendicular to one edge and passing through mid point of that edge. The maximum acceleration with which it can move without toppling is [Acceleration due to gravity 'g'l
