1. The 700-N force is applied to the 100-kg block, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and direction of the friction force F exerted by the horizontal surface on the block.
P = 700 N
2. The magnitude of force P is slowly increased. Does the homogeneous box of mass m slip or tip first? State the value of P which would cause each occur- rence. Neglect any effect of the size of the small feet.
