$$\left(i\right)F=mg\sin 30°$$$$=\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times \frac{1}{2}=2.5N$$$$\left(ii\right)F=N\sin 30°$$$$N\cos 30°=mg=\frac{1}{2}\times 10=5$$$$\Rightarrow F=\frac{5}{\cos 30°}\times \sin 30°=\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}newtons.$$

$$forcebalancealongverticaland$$$$horizontalgives:$$$$N\cos 30°=mg$$$$N\sin 30°=F$$$$dividing$$$$\frac{F}{mg}=\tan 30°=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$$$$\Rightarrow F=\frac{mg}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{\left(1/2\right)\times 10}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{5}{\sqrt{3}}=\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{3}.$$

$$N\cos (90°-30°)=F$$$$\Rightarrow N\sin 30°=F$$
