$A$ uniform cube of side $b$ and mass $M$ rests on a rough horizontal table. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point at a height $3b/4$ above the base. What should be the coefficient of friction $\mu$ between the cube and the table so that it will tip about an edge before it starts slipping?

  • A
    $\mu > \frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\mu > \frac{1}{3}$
  • C
    $\mu > \frac{3}{2}$
  • D
    None of these
