A body resting on a rough  horizontal plane require a pull of  18N inclined at 30° to the plane  first to move it.It was found  that a push of 22N inclined at 30°  to the plane just moved the body.  Determine the weight and   coefficient of friction.

please can you post a diagram for  better understanding. This is  because I never knew that there  was a difference between the reaction  of forces when in a push and pull.
