The figure shows a uniform crate resting on a horizontal surface. The crate has a square cross
Question:
The figure shows a uniform crate resting on a horizontal surface. The crate has a square cross section and a weight of W = 580 N, which is uniformly distributed. At the bottom right edge of the surface is a small obstruction that prevents the crate from sliding when a horizontal pushing force is applied to the left side. However, if this force is great enough, the crate will begin to tip and rotate over the obstruction. Concepts: (i) What causes the tipping-the force or the torque that it creates? (ii) Where should be applied so that a minimum force will be necessary to provide the necessary torque? In other words, should the lever arm be a minimum or a maximum? Calculations: Determine the minimum pushing force that leads to tipping.

I travel three times a year either to the USA, Europe and around Africa.
As a university student in the USA, I enjoyed interacting with people from different cultures and ethnic groups. Together with friends, we travelled widely in the USA and in Europe (UK, France, Denmark, Germany, Turkey, etc).
So, I look forward to tutoring you. I believe that it will be exciting to meet them.
In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
