A solid cube of side ' 
' is shown in the figure. Find the maximum value of 
for which the block does not topple before sliding.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
50
(50) 
balances kinetic friction so that the block can move
So, 
For no toppling, the net torque about bottom right edge should be zero
i.e
But, maximum value of 
can only be 
Maximum value of 
is 50
