A top-heavy box that is 1.0 m long and 1.5 m tall and very thin, has its center of gravity located 1.25 m from the ground 0.25 m to the left of the center of the box. The coefficient of static friction between the box and floor is 0.40. If someone exerts a force horizontally to the right along the top of the box, will the box tip or slip first?

A box rests on top of a flat bed truck. The box has a mass of m = 18 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the box and truck is μs = 0.8 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and truck is μk = 0.61. 1)The truck accelerates from rest to vf = 17 m/s in t = 13 s (which is slow enough that the box will not slide). What is the acceleration of the...

A 5.5 m long ladder with a mass of 10.0 kg is leaning against a wall at a dangerously large angle of 35° (between the ladder and the wall). The coefficient of static friction between the base of the ladder and the floor is 0.50 and the top of the ladder has wheels so there is negligible friction between the ladder and the wall. How far up along the ladder can a 65.0 kg painter climb before the ladder slips?...

A worker of mass 85 kg has been doing repairs on a building, working from a ladder of mass 35 kg, which has its center of gravity at its midpoint. Wrapping up his workday, the worker starts to move the ladder when he notices that he left his 15-kg toolbox attached at a point 0.75 m from the top. In a hurry, he re-positions the ladder carelessly, with its top resting at 8.0 m above the ground and its base...
