Question 87
XE-DNAT2 marksNeeds review
A square block of side 1 m and mass 10 kg is resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.75. A horizontal force P acts on the block as shown in the figure. The force P is gradually increased from zero until the block either slides or topples. The maximum value of
(in m, rounded off to two decimal places) for which the block slides without toppling is _____. Take the acceleration due to gravity
m/s
