I figured it out. I was not aware that the Force P(when using a pully) acted parrel to the plane in addition to the cosine of the force P(1+cos∅). I also made algebraic mistake in placing the delta force in x direction on the same side as the other forces. Thanks for your help never the less...

Did you count range as rolling range or where it originally landed? It makes a big difference. It should be where it originally landed.

I accounted for that during the force resistance in a later calculaton, see: Note that I set P=Fa But yeah I shouldn't have stated force normal that way. And yeah I know about specail traingles, could have simplified it more though I guess. Does the theory seem correct though? I think the...
