Question

2(a). A rectangular case is loaded with uniform vertical thin rods such that when it is full, as
shown in the figure (a), the case has a total weight of 1000 N. The case weighs 100 N when
empty and has a coefficient of static friction 0.3 with the floor as shown in the diagram. A
force T of 200 N is maintained on the case. If the rods are unloaded from the left end as
shown in the figure (b), what is the limiting value of x for equilibrium to be maintained?
