Answer:
the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N
the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m
Explanation:
Given that:
mass of the cabinet m = 45 kg
coefficient of static friction μ = 0.30
A free flow body diagram illustrating what the question represents is attached in the file below;
The given condition from the question let us realize that ; the casters are locked to prevent the tires from rotating.
Thus; considering the forces along the vertical axis ; we have :
The upward force and the downward force is :
where;
are the normal contact force at center point A and B respectively .
------- equation (1)
Considering the forces on the horizontal axis:
where ;
are the static friction at center point A and B respectively.
which can be written also as:
replacing our value from equation (1)
P = 0.30 ( 441)
P = 132.3 N
Thus; the force P required for impending motion is 132.3 N
b) Since the horizontal distance between the casters A and B is 480 mm; Then half the distance = 480 mm/2 = 240 mm = 0.24 cm
the largest value of "h" allowed for the cabinet is not to tip over is calculated by determining the limiting condition of the unbalanced torque whose effect is canceled by the normal reaction at and it is shifted to
:
Then:
h = 0.8 m
Thus; the largest value of "h" allowed if the cabinet is not to tip over is 0.8 m

Explanation:
To start doing this problem, first draw a free body diagram of the table. My teacher always tells us to do this, and I find that it is very helpful. I have attached a free body diagram to this answer- take a look at it.
First, let us see if Net force = MA. To do that, we need to determine whether the object is at equilibrium horizontally. For an object to be at equilibrium, it either needs to be moving at a constant velocity or not moving at all. Also, if an object is at equilibrium, there will not be any acceleration. But we know that there IS acceleration horizontally, so it cannot be in equilibrium. If it is not in equilibrium, we can use the formula ∑F= ma.
Let us determine the net force. Since the object is moving horizontally, we can ignore the weight and normal force, because they are vertical forces. The only horizontal forces we need to worry about are the applied force and force of friction.
Applied force = 1055 N (490 + 565)
Friction force= Unknown
To find the friction force, use the kinetic friction formula, Friction = μkN
μk is the coefficient, which the problem includes- it is 0.613.
N is the normal force, which we have to find.
*To find the normal force, we have to determine if the object is at equilibrium VERTICALLY. Since it has no acceleration vertically (it's not moving up/down), it is at equilibrium. Now, when an object is at equilibrium in one direction, it means that all the forces in that direction are equal. What are our vertical forces? Weight (mg) and Normal force (N). So it means that the Normal force is equal to the Weight.
Weight = mg = (40)(9.8) = 392 N
Normal force = 392 N
Now, plug it back into the formula (μkN): (0.613)(392) = 240.296 N
Friction = 240.296 N
Now that we know the friction, we can find the horizontal net force. Just subtract the friction force, 240.296 from the applied force, 1055 N
Horizontal Net Force: 814.704 N
Now that we know the net force, plug in the numbers for the formula
∑F= ma.
814.704 = (40.0)(a)
*Divide on both sides)
a = 20.3676 m/s^2
Round it to 3 significant figures, to get:
20.4
