Im not too sure about using this... because if we assume tipping starts at Ph = mg(w/2), for the example Ph= 480Nm clockwise and mg(w/2)=245.25 Nm anticlockwise. The moment provided by the force will always be greater... furthermore, given that the normal gradually gets redistributed and its...

@TSny The problem is not very relevant to the question I had but here it is. Thanks a lot for your solutions anyway... I think I understand it a lot better now.

I would like to know the considerations needed to find the tipping of a box. It is given μk=0.2 and the box is 50kg There are actually 2 ways of solving the problem: 1. To consider the moment about the centre of mass of the box, given that the normal force on the box will be redistributed...
