N=mg cos α+F sin α  f=mg sin α−F cos α  f=μN  mg sin α−F cos α=μ(mg cos α+F sin α)  mg(sin α−μ cos α)=F(μsin α+cos α)  mg(tan α−μ)=F(μ tan α+1)  ⇒F=((mg(tan α−μ))/(μ tan α+1))=((10×10(tan 30°−0.2))/(0.2×tan 30°+1))  =33.83 N

Horizontal force = F  Resolving along the plane  Fcos ∝+uR=mgsin ∝.......(i)  Vertically the plane,  Fsin ∝+mgcos ∝=R  ⇒Fcos ∝+u(Fsin ∝+mgcos ∝)=mgsin ∝  but ∝=30^°   Fcos 30^° +0.2(Fsin 30^° +10×9.8cos 30°)=10×9.8sin 30^°   0.87F+0.1F+16.97=49  F= ((32.03)/(0.97))  F= 33.02N
