उत्तर
| (a) mg/4 < F < mg/2 | (ii) Cube will not exhibit motion. |
| (b) F > mg/2 | (iii) Cube will begin to rotate and slip at A. |
| (c) F > mg | (i) Cube will move up. |
| (d) F = mg/4 | (iv) Normal reaction effectively at a/3 from A, no motion. |
Explanation:
Consider the below diagram
Moment of the force F about point A, τ1 = F × a .....(anti-clockwise)
Moment of weight mg of the cube about point A.
τ2 = `mg xx a/2` .....(clockwise)

Cube will not exhibit motion, If τ1 = τ2 ......(∵ In this case, both the torque will cancel the effect of each other)
∴ F × a = `mg xx a/2`
⇒ F = `(mg)/2`
Cube will rotate only when, τ1 > τ2
⇒ F × a > `mg xx a/2`
⇒ `F > (mg)/2`
Let the normal reaction is acting at `a/3` from point A, then
`mg xx a/3 = F xx a` or `F = (mg)/3` .......(For no motion)
When F = `(mg)/4` which is less than `(mg)/3`, .....`(F < (mg)/3)`
There will be no motion.

Explain why friction is necessary to make the disc in Figure roll in the direction indicated
(a) Give the direction of frictional force at B, and the sense of frictional torque, before perfect rolling begins.
(b) What is the force of friction after perfect rolling begins?

If several forces act on a particle, the total torque on the particle may be obtained by first finding the resultant force and then taking torque of this resultant. Prove this. Is this result valid for the forces acting on different particles of a body in such a way that their lines of action intersect at a common point?
If the resultant torque of all the forces acting on a body is zero about a point, is it necessary that it will be zero about any other point?
A rectangular brick is kept on a table with a part of its length projecting out. It remains at rest if the length projected is slightly less than half the total length but it falls down if the length projected is slightly more than half the total length. Give reason.
A ladder is resting with one end on a vertical wall and the other end on a horizontal floor. If it more likely to slip when a man stands near the bottom or near the top?
When a body is weighed on an ordinary balance we demand that the arum should be horizontal if the weights on the two pans are equal. Suppose equal weights are put on the two pans, the arm is kept at an angle with the horizontal and released. Is the torque of the two weights about the middle point (point of support) zero? Is the total torque zero? If so, why does the arm rotate and finally become horizontal?
