Well, I am not going to let it go that easy.
F=Ffriction*tan(alpha) or F=friction factor*block's mass*tan(alpha). Am I correct?
P.S. Oh gosh i just realized i totally missed friction between cone and block. :( Guys, I really need your help! Thank you in advance.
Hey, guys! Not really my homework question, I am long past my days of studying physics (I stumbled upon this problem doing some engineering researches) but still i put it here cause it should be rather easy. Here is the picture I made:
