$A$ 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?

In the figure,two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of friction $\mu$ and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically against a smooth vertical wall. The pulley is frictionless. Choose the correct statement$(s)$ related to the tension $T$ in the string.

Consider a system of blocks $A$, $B$, and $X$ as shown in the figure. The blocks $A$ and $B$ have equal mass $m$ and are connected by a massless string through a massless pulley. The coefficient of friction between block $A$ and $X$, and between block $B$ and $X$, is $\mu = 0.5$. If block $X$ moves on the horizontal frictionless surface, what should be its minimum acceleration $a$ such that blocks $A$ and $B$ remain stationary relative to $X$? ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity.)

$A$ string of negligible mass going over a clamped pulley of mass $m$ supports a block of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. The force on the pulley by the clamp is given by
