Answer:

The minimum flow rate is
2.66*10^-^4 m^3/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is in complete without the diagram. please see attached the diagram

From the free body diagram of the block when it is ready to tip

∑M₀= 0.

kindly find attached the diagram of the rectangular block,

the free body diagram, and a detail solving for your reference
