Detailed Solution

The free-body diagram of the block can be drawn as shown.As the body has to move in pure translational motion, the torque about the center of gravity must be zero.Torque of mg and N is zero as they are passing through COM.Therefore, torque of 3F and F should balance each other.3F×x=F×a2 ⇒x=a6
