The body of mass m is supported by feet of negligible size and is at rest relative to the tilted surface, which is contained within an experimental vehicle. If the vehicle is brought to rest with a slowly increasing deceleration a, determine the ratio h/b which will just allow the body to tip forward about the front feet before it slides forward relative to the vehicle. For this ratio, what is the deceleration a at which tipping occurs?
