A uniform cube of side length 7.3 cm rests on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between cube and floor is u. A
horizontal pullP is applied perpendicular to one of the vertical faces of the cube, at a distance 6.5 cm above the floor on the vertical
midline of the cube face. The magnitude of P is gradually increased. (a) If µ is less than what value will the cube eventually begin to
slide? (b) If u is greater than what value will the cube eventually begin to tip? (Hint: At the onset of tipping, where is the normal force
located?)

A 200-lb man walks up an inclined plank of negligible weight which makes an angle of 70o with the wall. The coefficient of static friction between the floor and the ladder is 0.3 and that between the ladder and the wall is 0.2. When the man is at a horizontal distance X from the foot of the plank, the plank would begin toslide.

Find (b) the frictional force on the floor, and the frictional force on the wall and
(c) the horizontal distance X.
A particle, of mass 6 kg, is in equilibrium on a rough horizontal plane under a force of magnitude T N, which acts at an angle 15 above the horizontal. Given the coefficient of friction between the particle and the rough horizontal plane is 0.35, what values could T take?
