A uniform cube of side a and mass m rests on a rough horizontal table. A horizontal force F is applied normal to one of the faces at a point directly above the centre of the face, at a height (3a)/(4) above the base. What is the minimum value of F for which the cube begins to tip about an edge?

A cubical block of edge length 1 m and density 800 kg m^-3 rests on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction mu . A horizontal force F is applied on the block as shown in figure. If the coefficient of friction is sufficiently large so that the block does not slide bofore toppling, then the minimum value of F to topple the block is [Take g = 10 ms^-2 ]

An equilateral prism of mass m rests on a rough horizontal surface with cofficent of friction mu . A horizontal force F is applied on the prism as shown in the figure.

A block of mass m is placed on the top of a 6kg cart such that the time period of the system is 0.75 s assuming there is no slipping. If the cart is displaced by 50 mm from its equilibrium position and released, then the coefficient of static friction mu_(s) between block and cart is just sufficient to prevent the block from sliding. The value of m and mu_(s) respectively are (Take g = 9.8 m//s^(2))

A cubical box of side length L rests on a rough horizontal surface having coefficient of friction mu . A variable horizontal force F=alpha t is applied on the top of the block as shown in figure, where alpha is a constant and t is time. The coefficient of friction is sufficient so that the block does not slide before toppling. The graph between torque due to normal reaction about end B and time before toppling start is
