Answer:
the required minimum magnitude of the force F is 21 N
Explanation:
Given the data in the question,
m = 5 kg
width = 60 cm
height = 80 cm
Let force is F represent in the image below,
so when the block about to rotate normal shifted to edge of cube
mg(w/2) = Fh
F = mg(w/2) / h
we know that g = 9.8 m/s²
we substitute
F = (5 × 9.8 ( 60/2)) / 70
F = (5 × 9.8 × 30 ) / 70
F = 1470 / 70
F = 21 N
Therefore, the required minimum magnitude of the force F is 21 N
