Question: A uniform cube of side a and mass m rests on a rough horizontal table. A horizontal force F is applied normal to one of the faces at a point that is directly above the centre of the face, at a height $\frac{3a}{4}$ above the base. The minimum value of F for which the cube begins to tilt about the edge is (assume that the cube does not slide)
