the ramp is considered frictionless

A box of mass 32.0 kg sits on a horizontal steel ramp 3.4 m long with a coefficient of static friction of 0.30 between the ramp and the box. The end of the ramp is slowly lifted until the box begins to slide down the ramp. What angle does the ramp make with the ground when this happens? What...

A 115.0 kg box is pushed by a horizontal force F at constant speed up a frictionless ramp which makes an angle of 49.0 deg with the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the applied force F. I can't seem to get this problem right. In the x-direction there is a push. Which I got mgsin(49). In...
