Question: The homogeneous rectangular block having dimensions a = 1 . 9 0 , b = 2 . 8 6 as shown, and mass m ,

The homogeneous rectangular block having dimensions a=1.90, b=2.86 as shown, and mass m, rests on the inclined plane which is hinged about a horizontal axis through O. Calculate the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane, if the block does not slip before tipping.
b, hight of block
a, width of block
..........
I believe that the solution shown is wrong as the equation for tipping is wrong and should be: mg sin(theta) b/2= Na/2
