Nevermind, i see what the problem is. I'm forgetting to consider torque from the force normal. I'll have to change my pivot point to the area with the friction and Force normal and look at gravity and the force applied.

Static Equilibrium/Torque--Calculating the force required to tip a box Homework Statement A uniform crate with a mass of 13.2 kg rests on a floor with a coefficient of static friction equal to 0.536. The crate is a uniform cube with sides 1.21 m in length. (a) What horizontal force applied...

can anyone help me please? My teacher's question is not phrased very well so i don't understand how to go about solving it.

But, without using numbers and just variables, how can i quantify the force of I*w/R in terms of just mass as i use 9.8*m as the force of the other one? I don't have any numbers to use here, nor do i know the moment of inertia in this situation. also, isn't torque = I* angular acceleration not...

Homework Statement A person is atop a tree as it is cut down. Should he push off from the tree and fall freely to the ground or hold on and ride the tree to the ground?It would be a good idea to lay down some physics formulas to support your argument. Homework Equations F=ma Torque =...
