If possible could you provide me with the whole solution

Ok

yes

yes but Ft is acting upward

yes its a thruster attached there ok got the t thing will keep in mind

t->thrust constant

direction->perpendicular to lower surface, magnitude->t

if you want you can consider it as a cube but then the the point on which the external force is acting is at the bottom right corner but it's z coordinate is equal to the z coordinate of the centre of the cube such that the torque produced in the z axis is zero

it's not zero but close to that i took that as the case so that i can solve it in 2D

yes with zero thickness

it's a square in the sketch only the bottom right part is visible

done!!

I am basing this off on the fact that axis of rotation passes through the point which has a net total of zero torque so in order to find the point i will choose a random point and solve so that the torque produced by gravity and the external force is zero. things that are give or know...

should i repost

1.to calculate torque we need a point right with respect to which we can calculate torque so what i am trying to achieve is find a point where the torque produced by gravity and external force is zero so that i can consider it as a point through which axis of rotation passes. 2.centre of mass...
