Problem 12.30 A cubic crate of side s = 2.5 m is top-heavy: its CG is 20 cm above its true center. Part A How steep an incline can the crate rest on without tipping over? Express your answer using two significant figures. ANSWER: Part B What would your answer be if the crate were to slide at constant speed down the plane without tipping over? [Hint: The normal force would act at the lowest corner.] Express your answer using two significant figures. ANSWER:
