A uniform cubical box of side a is placed on a rough floor and it is to be moved by applying minimum possible force F at a point which is at a distance b above its centre of mass. If the coefficient of friction is 
= 0. 4, then what is the maximum possible value of 100 x 
for which the box will not topple before moving?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
50.00
For no toppling
(in limiting case)
But it is not possible as maximum value of b can be equal to 0. 5a only
