Question

A worker applies a horizontal force to the top edge of a crateto get it to tip forward. If the crate has a mass of 100 kgand is 1.6 m tall and 0.80 m in depth and width, what is theminimum force to make the crate start tipping? (assume the centerof mass of the crate is at its center and static friction greatenough to prevent slipping.) I am having a problem setting this problem up. Would itbe a summation of the forces and the summation of the torque? A worker applies a horizontal force to the top edge of a crateto get it to tip forward.
