A square lamina ABCD rests in a vertical plane with AB in contact with a rough horizontal table. The coefficient of friction between the lamina and the table is m. A gradually increasing force is applied at C in the plane of the lamina in an upwards direction and making an angle @ with DC (so that part of the line of action of the force lies inside the lamina) . Prove that equilibrium is broken as follows :
(a) if tan@ > 2 and m > 1/(tan@-2) , by the lamina tilting about A,
(b) if tan@ < 2 and m > 1/(2-tan@) , by the lamina tilting about B,
(c) if m < | 1/(tan@-2) | , by the lamina sliding.
