Attempting to slide it across the floor you exert a horizontal pushing force P at a height y above the floor as in the figure If y is too large the refrigerator will tip instead of sliding Find the largest value of y that makes the refrigerator slide without tipping if its mass is M 116 kg its center of mass is located where d 0 37 m and h 0 95 m and the coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is us 0 29 Hints Use the equilibrium conditions to place the refrigerator on the verge of both sliding and tipping but not doing either When the refrigerator is on the verge of tipping the normal force will act at its lower front corner Question 1 A refrigerator is at rest on a level floor Attempting to slide it across the floor you exert a horizontal pushing force P at a height y above the floor as in the figure If y is too large the refrigerator will tip instead of sliding Find the largest value of y that makes the refrigerator slide without tipping if its mass is M 116 kg its center of mass is located where d 0 37 m and h 0 95 m and the coefficient of static friction between the refrigerator and the floor is 0 29 2 pts Hints Use the equilibrium conditions to place the refrigerator on the verge of both sliding and tipping but not doing either When the refrigerator is on the verge of tipping the normal force will act at its lower front corner M cm
