Here we have a block of mass (m=2.50kg) resting on a place inclined at an angle of ø=30° to the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is Ustatic = 0.135 and the block is stationary but just on the point of sliding up the slope. The diagram shows the four forces acting on the block: an applied force F1 acting up the slope, the block's weight mg, the normal reaction force N and the force of static friction, Ff. In this case, the force of static friction acts down the slope, opposing the tendency of the block to move up the slope. Find the the maximum magnitude of the applied force F1 that can be exerted if the block is to remain stationary.
