A uniform cube of side $a$ and mass $m$ rests on a rough horizontal table. A horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point that is directly above the centre of face, at a height $\frac {3a}{4}$ above the base. The minimum value of $F$ for which the cube begins to tilt about the edge is (Assume that the cube does not slide)

  • A

    $\frac {mg}{4}$

  • B

    $\frac {2mg}{3}$

  • C

    $\frac {3mg}{4}$

  • D

    $mg$

A long horizontal rod has a bead which can slide along its length, and initially placed at a distance $L$ from one end $A$ of the rod. The rod is set in angular motion about $A$ with constant angular acceleration $\alpha$. If the coefficient of friction between the rod and the bead is $\mu$, and gravity is neglected, then the time after which the bead starts slipping is
