A crate in the form of a 1.12-m cube contains a piece of machinery whose design is such that the center of gravity of the crate and its contents is located 0.28 m above its geometrical center. The crate rests on a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. As θ is increased from zero, an angle will be reached at which the crate will either start to slide down the ramp or tip over. Which event will occur if the coefficient of static friction is (a) 0.60? (b) 0.70? In each case give the angle at which the event occurs.
