Resolving parallel and perpendicular to the plane

Click For Summary
To determine the force needed to prevent a 50kg block from slipping on a rough inclined surface at 0.6 radians, the forces acting on the block must be resolved both parallel and perpendicular to the incline. The static friction coefficient is 0.2, which influences the frictional force opposing the block's motion. The calculated force required to keep the block stationary is 196 N, but verification of this calculation is requested. Accurate resolution of forces is crucial for confirming the correct applied force. The discussion emphasizes the importance of proper force analysis in physics problems involving inclined planes.

A rectangular block of mass 50kg is held by a rope on a rough surface inclined at 0.6 radians.
Assume that the coefficient of static friction is 0.2, determine what force needs to be applied to the rope to keep the block from slipping.

I did this by resolving parallel and perpendicular to the plane and found the the force required is196 N. however, I'm not sure of this. can someone please work this out and see if my answer is right.

Thank you!

Thread 'Leibniz Rule Videos on Digital-University'

Good morning I have been refreshing my memory about Leibniz differentiation of integrals and found some useful videos from digital-university.org on YouTube. Although the audio quality is poor and the speaker proceeds a bit slowly, the explanations and processes are clear. However, it seems that one video in the Leibniz rule series is missing. While the videos are still present on YouTube, the referring website no longer exists but is preserved on the internet archive...
