Find the magnitude of the horizontal force F required to keep the block of mass m stationary on the smooth inclined plane as shown in the figure.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The force acting on the block are shown in the free body diagram

Applying equations for equilibrium
`SigmaF_(x)=0" " F cos theta - mg sin theta=0` or
`F=(mg sin theta)/(cos theta)=mg tan theta`
