The coefficient of static friction between a 3.00 kg crate and the 35.0o incline is 0.300. What minimum force F must be applied perpendicularly to the incline to prevent the crate from sliding down

So the minimum force is

32.2Newton

Explanation:

To solve for the minimum force, let us assume it to be F (N)

So

F=mgsinA

But

=>>>> coefficient of static friction x (F + mgcosA

=>3 x 9.8 x sin35 = 0.3 x (F + 3 x 9.8 x cos35)

So making F subject of formula

F + 24.0 = 56.2

F = 32.2N

the components of a vector are the parts of the vectors that are to each other.
