Exercise 6: Refrigerator A has a mass of 122kg and is 90.0cm wide. It is loaded so that the center of mass is 70.0cm from the floor as shown, but still along the vertical centerline. A) Calculate the magnitude of the force F (applied as shown) required to tip the refrigerator over. B) Refrigerator B has the same mass and external dimensions as A, but it is loaded such that it has a center of mass substantially higher from the floor (but still along the vertical centerline.) Would this refrigerator require a greater, equal, or lesser force F to start tipping over, compared to refrigerator A? Explain. C) Now suppose each refrigerator is already tipped by the (same) angle 0 when the forces are applied. Would refrigerator B require a greater, equal, or lesser force (horizontal) F to finish tipping over, assuming each force is applied at the same place above the floor? Explain. 90.0 cm A B B A X 120. ст 70.0 cm Axis X X Axis Axis Axis
