A solid cube of mass 40 kg and edge length 0.30 m rests on a horizontal floor
Question:
A solid cube of mass 40 kg and edge length 0.30 m rests on a horizontal floor as shown in Figure P8.34. A person then pushes on the upper edge of the cube with a horizontal force of magnitude F. At what value of F will the cube start to tip? Assume the frictional force from the floor is large enough to prevent the cube from sliding.

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.
