Given problem: Determine the maximum force 'P' that can be applied without causing movement of the 248.8 lb crate which has a center of gravity at point 'G' . The coefficient of static friction at the floor is ?? = 0.4.  a) Determine the maximum force ‘P’ that can be applied against sliding in lb. b) Determine the maximum force ‘P’ that can be applied against tipping in lb. c) Determine the safest maximum force ‘P’ that can be applied without causing movement in lb.
