Homework Statement
A block of mass M = 2 kg is on a stationary inclined plane inclined with an angle θ = 30°. A horizontal rope is attached to the block and is pulled to the right with tension T. The tension remains horizontal even in the event that the block moves down the plane. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane is μs = 0.7 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.5 .

The Attempt at a Solution
I set up the FBD and summed the y component of force but where I get stuck is the tension. Because I know that it has a y component based on my axis but I am not sure how to find it, which is what I am trying to figure out. I am confident that I would understand the rest. for sum of fy i have Nf-mgcos(30)=0 and am not sure how to include the tension. I uploaded the FBD of the box
