A square block of side 1 m and mass 10 kg is resting on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.75. A horizontal force P acts on the block as shown in the figure. The force P is gradually increased from zero until the block either slides or topples. The maximum value of ℎ (in m, rounded off to two decimal places) for which the block slides without toppling is _____. Take the acceleration due to gravity 𝑔= 10 m/s2.
Answer: 0.66 to 0.68
