Let's say I apply a horizontal force on an object sitting on a table. So there's friction. I know how to determine whether it will move or not-- I just see whether the applied force is bigger than the friction force.
F > Fs there's movement
Fs < F there's no movement
That I know.
But what if the object will rotate before it moves? How do I know this?(Oops - sorry, please move that to "classical physics")
