Homework Statement



A glass of water with a mass of 500 g is being pushed horizontally at thetop across a table. The base is 1.5 cm in diameter and i is 5.0 cm tall. The coefficient of static friction is 0.20. Will it slip or tip?

Homework Equations



Not entirely sure.

The Attempt at a Solution



This seems fairly basic, but for some reason I can't seem to wrap my mind around it. Just a push in the right direction, starting me off properly, would help immensely.
