$A$ block with a square base measuring $a \times a$ and height $h$ is placed on an inclined plane. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$. The angle of inclination $(\theta)$ of the plane is gradually increased. The block will:

  • A
    topple before sliding if $\mu > \frac{a}{h}$
  • B
    slide before toppling if $\mu < \frac{a}{h}$
  • C
    slide before toppling if $\mu < \frac{a}{h}$
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$

$A$ cubical block of side $L$ rests on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied on the block as shown. If the coefficient of friction is sufficiently high so that the block does not slide before toppling,the minimum force required to topple the block is
