A 130-lb crate is being transported by a 175-lb hand- truck cart along the frictionless floor. The coefficients of friction between the cart and the box are μ = 0.20 and Mk = 0.15. If a force P = 45 lb is applied as shown, P determine the smallest ratio d/b for which the box will tip before it slides. Neglect the mass of the wheels of the cart.
