12. A 4
kg block A
rests on the surface of a slant. The static coefficient of friction between the
block and slant is. If an external force T
~ N(25, 0.12)
N is applied to pull the block, determine the probability that the block A may tip.
Solution
Solve
the above equation, we obtain
Therefore
The
probability that the block may tip is
Thus, we
can construct function Y and the
block might tip over when Y>0,
where
Finally,
we can obtain
Ans.
