Question
When a force F is applied on a block of mass m resting on a horizontal surface then there are two possibilities, either block moves by translation or it moves by toppling. If the surface is smooth then the block always translates but on a rough surface it topples only when the torque of the applied force F is greater than the torque of mg about a point in contact with the ground. When the force F is applied the body may topple about A or it may translate.If the block be a cube of edge a and 
= 0.2 then :-
- the body will translate
- the body will topple
- the body may translate or topple
- none of the above
The correct answer is: the body will translate
