Question
2. The coefficient of static friction between all contacting surfaces is μ = 0.4. The weight of
each box is the same, W, and the center of gravity of each box is at its geometric center.
a) Determine the minimum horizontal force P needed for the top box to be on the verge of
sliding across the top of the lower box (be sure to provide a free body diagram). Is this
situation physically possible?
b) Determine the minimum horizontal force P needed for both boxes to tip together (be sure
to provide a free body diagram). Is this situation physically possible?
c) Based on your solutions to parts 'a' and 'b' (no new analysis required), if the magnitude
of P is slowly increased from a value of zero, which of these two situations will be
realized?
