Question: The block shown in ( Figure 1 ) has a mass of ( m = 9 5 mathrm { ~kg } )
The block shown in Figure has a mass of mmathrm~kg a height H mathrm~m and width Lmathrm~m It is resting on a ramp that makes an angle thetacirc with the horizontal. A force mathbfP is applied parallel to the surface of the ramp at the top of the block. What is the maximum force that can be applied without causing the block to move? The coefficient of static friction is mus and the center of mass of the block is at the center of the rectangle.
Part A
There are two ways the block can move: by slipping up the ramp or by tipping over. First consider the block slipping up the ramp. What is the magnitude of the normal force between the block and the ramp?
Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units.

Part B
What is the maximum magnitude of mathbfP that can be applied before slipping would occur, assuming the block does not tip?
Express your answer to three significant figures with appropriate units.

Ptext slip square
Part C
Now consider the case of impending tipping. Where do the normal force and friction force act in this case?
At the edge of the block closest to the bottom of the ramp.
At the midpoint of the bottom edge of the block.
At the point directly below the center of gravity of the block.
At the edge of the block closest to the top of the ramp.
At an unknown point along the bottom edge of the block.
