Chapter 12, Problem 29P
(III) A refrigerator is approximately a uniform rectangular solid 1.9 m tall, 1.0 m wide, and 0.75 m deep. If it sits upright on a truck with its 1.0-m dimension in the direction of travel, and if the refrigerator cannot slide on the truck, how rapidly can the truck accelerate without tipping the refrigerator over? [Hint: The normal force would act at one corner.]

A rectangular block twice as high as it is wide is resting on a board. The coefficient of static friction between board and incline is 0.63. If the board’s inclination angle is gradually increased, will the block first tip over or first begin sliding?
When you lift an object by moving only your forearm, the main lifting muscle in your arm is the biceps. Suppose the mass of a forearm with hand is 1.60 kg. If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance of 2.1 cm from the elbow, how much force must the biceps exert to hold a 37 N ball at the end of the forearm at distance of 36.0 cm from the elbow, with the forearm parallel to the floor, in Newtons? Use g = 10.0 m/s2.
A cubical box is filled with sand and weighs 890 N. We wish to “roll" the box by pushing
horizontally on one of the upper edges. What minimum coefficient of static friction
between box and floor is required?
