Minimum force to lift a drum over a step (different examples)

Given that the mass of the drum is 20 kg. What is the minimum force, F, required to just movee th drum off the ground? (Assume uniform mass of drum and g = 10 N/kg)

Knowing the position of the pivot and identifying the perpendicular distance is important. Consider the 3 variations of the same question as shown below.

Type 1: Very straight forward as the pivot is same level as the CG of the drum. Hence pendicular distance is easy to identify.

Type 2: Using pythagoras theorem to find the necessary perpendicular distance.

Type 3: Using Toa, Cah and Soh to find the necessary perpendicular distance.
