A 5 kg block sits on an inclined plane with angle 30ø. A force is applied parallel to the incline.?

Question

The magnitude of the applied force required to keep the block stationary is

Answer 1

I will assume there is no friction between the block and the incline.

So the force due to gravity that is parallel to the incline that must be balanced is
m*g*sin(30)
so the force is 24.5 N
