Should'nt the answer be d=(l/3)
if all surfaces are frictionless, and the edge of the floor has sufficient friction for the rod to rotate about it, find the minimum distance d for the rod to topple. (length of the rod is l)
i am getting d≥(l/2)
please tell me if i am correct

1) write force eqn in y and x directions
2) write torque eqn abt the point of contact with the floor.
