A rod of mass M rests vertically on the floor, held in place by static friction. IF the coefficient of static friction is \mu_{s}, find the maximum force F that can be applied to the rod at its midpoint before it slips.
I'm not exactly sure what i am suppose to be looking for.. Obviously there will be a FBD of the rod and friction will oppose the force, i need to find the maximum force of static friction and than anything greater than that will push the rod over. Where do i start with this?
