Hi I would greatly appreciate help on this problem.
Ok so here is the problem
I first tried to work out the moments for the block on the ground with no angle to the ground.
moments about a = .45(35000*g) - 3.2 * f = 0
Where f is the force exerted from the elephant but the answer I got is 4823 whic is not one of the options.
I then thought maybe it was the force at the angle of tipping over but the moments sum to zero at this angle when f is zero so this can't be it.
Thanks for any help.
