A body of weight 500N is prevented from sliding down a plane inclined at 20 to the horizontal by the application of a force of 50 N acting upwards and parallel to the plane. Find the coefficient of friction. If the body is to be pulled up the plane by a force acting at an angle of 30 to the horizontal, find the value of the force, and the efficiency of the lift. IMECHE

A body of weight 500N is prevented from sliding down a
plane inclined at 20 to the horizontal by the application of
a force of 50 N acting upwards and parallel to the plane.
Find the coefficient of friction.
If the body is to be pulled up the plane by a force acting
at an angle of 30 to the horizontal, find the value of the
force, and the efficiency of the lift.
