1.1 Find the required leaning force P that the man needs to exert to the cabinet for sliding to impend (assuming without tipping) 1.2 Find required leaning force P that Joey needs to exert to the cabinet for tipping to impend (assuming without sliding) 1.3 If the man's horizontal leaning force is 90 N, which of the following best describes the motion of the cabinet? (Moving, At Rest, Tipping, Sliding, Impending to Slide, Impending to Tip etc.)
As shown, a man is leaning against the side of a cabinet with an unusual design. The cabinet's main body weighs 25 kg, while the upper rectangular portion weighs 3 kg. Assume the coefficients of friction between the cabinet and the floor are μs = 0.33 and μk = 0.28. Knowing that the force P exerted by the man's shoulder on the horizontal cabinet:
1.1 Find the required leaning force P that the man needs to exert to the cabinet for sliding to impend (assuming without tipping)
1.2 Find required leaning force P that Joey needs to exert to the cabinet for tipping to impend (assuming without sliding)
1.3 If the man's horizontal leaning force is 90 N, which of the following best describes the motion of the cabinet? (Moving, At Rest, Tipping, Sliding, Impending to Slide, Impending to Tip etc.)
