Chapter 9, Problem 74GP
A 2.0-m-high box with a 1.0-m-square base is moved across a rough floor as in Fig. 9-89.The uniform box weighs 250 N and has a coefficient of static friction with the floor of 0.60. What minimum force must be exerted on the box to make it slide? What is the maximum height h above the floor that this force can be applied without tipping the box over? Note that as the box tips, the normal

8-53.. A lantern of weight W is suspended at the end
horizontal bar of weight w and length L that is supported
by a cable that makes an angle with the side of a
vertical wall. Assume the weight of the bar is at its
center.
(a) Derive an equation for the tension in the cable.
(b) Calculate the tension in the cable for a bar of weight
28 N and length 1.5 m, plus a lantern of weight 85 N,
and the cable making a 37° angle to the vertical.

A cube of side l rests on a rough floor. It is subjected to a
steady horizontal pull F, exerted a distance h above the floor
as shown in Fig. 9-79. As Fis increased, the block will either
begin to slide, or begin to tip over.
Determine the coefficient of static
friction us so that (a) the block
begins to slide rather than tip;
(b) the block begins to tip.
[Hint: Where will the normal
force on the block act if it tips?]

R8-7. The uniform 50-lb beam is supported by the rope
that is attached to the end of the beam, wraps over the
rough peg, and is then connected to the 100-lb block. If
the coefficient of static friction between the beam and the
block, and between the rope and the peg, is us = 0.4,
determine the maximum distance that the block can be
placed from A and still remain in equilibrium. Assume the
block will not tip.
