In order to transfer two rectangular packages as shown in the figure below, an 8-kg steel wagon is used along a smooth floor. The masses of Packages 1 and 2 are mp₁ = 25 kg and mp2 = 20 kg, respectively. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between Package 1 and Package 2 are μ = 0.3 and μ = 0.2, respectively. The coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between Package 2 and the wagon are μ = 0.40 and μ = 0.25, respectively. If a pulling force of F = 15 N is applied on the steel wagon handle as shown, determine if Package 1 will slip before it will tip. Explain your answer. Take note that Package 2 will slip before it will tip.
