A block of mass m on an inclined plane that has angle alpha is kept from sliding down the inclined plane by a force F which is directed along the plane. The coefficient of static friction between block and plane is μs. Note the base of the inclined plane rest flat, parallel to the ground (there is no incline of the base relative to the ground despite the crooked drawing) 1. What's the minimum value of F at which the block will remain at rest? 2. What's the maximum value of F at which the block will remain at rest
