The tool locker of Problem 6.3 is 0.8 m by 0.8 m square (in plan) and 2 m high. Determine the height above which a horizontal force would have to be applied so that the locker would tip, rather than slide.
Problem 6.3
A tool locker having a mass of 140 kg rests on a wooden pallet. Assuming a coefficient of static friction of 0.38, determine the horizontal force that would cause sliding motion to impend.
