Question: A uniform cube of side length 8.0 cm rests on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between cube and floor is . A

A uniform cube of side length 8.0 cm rests on a horizontal floor. The coefficient of static friction between cube and floor is μ. A horizontal pull P is applied perpendicular to one of the vertical faces of the cube, at a distance 1.0 cm above the floor on the vertical midline of the cube face. The magnitude of F is gradually increased. During that increase, for what values of p will the cube eventually
