A rectangular block has a square base measuring a x a, and its height is h. It moves with a speed v on a smooth horizontal surface.(a) It will topple if v > √(2gh).(b) It will topple if v > √(2ga).(c) It will topple if v > √(2ga2 / h).(d) It will not topple for any value of v. |

Answer» Correct Answer is: (d) It will not topple for any value of v. A body topples due to an unbalanced torque about its centre of mass. Here, the two forces acting on the block, viz., mg and N, both pass through the centre of mass and hence produce no torque. |
