Question
When force $F$ acts on side of hexagonal body for what range of coefficient of friction body will topple ?(a) $\mu>0.29$(b) $\mu<0.29$(c) $\mu>0.21$(d) $\mu<0.21$
Step 1
Here, $F$ is the force acting on the body, $m$ is the mass of the body, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $\tau$ is the torque due to the force $F$. Show more…

A block of mass $2, \mathrm{~kg}$ rest on a plane inclined at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is 0.7. What will be the frictional force acting on the block? (a) $10.3 \mathrm{~N}$ (b) $23.8 \mathrm{~N}$ (c) $11.9 \mathrm{~N}$ (d) $6.3 \mathrm{~N}$
For the toppling of the shown regular hexagon, the coefficient of friction must be: (a) $>0.21$ (b) $<0.21$ (c) $=0.21$ (d) $<0.21$
A body of mass $m$ rests on horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the body and the surface is $\mu$. If the mass is pulled by a force $P$ as shown in the figure, the limiting friction between the body and surface will be (a) $\mu \mathrm{mg}$ (b) $\mu\left[m g+\left(\frac{P}{2}\right)\right]$ (c) $\mu\left[m g-\left(\frac{P}{2}\right)\right]$ (d) $\mu\left[m g-\left(\frac{\sqrt{3} P}{2}\right)\right]$
