Condition for a rectangular body to tip over when pushed horizontally
What constraint is missing? The problem I presented is not a test exercise, it is a conceptual problem to understand if and how the friction affects the body's overturning. You wrote earlier that when the frictional force is greater the body will turn over, but I do not see the effect of the...- yam1244

It is not homework. Frictional force is parameters. Corner not matter. As for your answer, I thought so too, but note that the position of the force is at the top of the section (rather than passing through the center of gravity), which means that you imagine that the body was a very narrow...- yam1244
