Help with friction!

A mass of 100kg is supported on a rough plane inclined at 30o to the horizontal by a rope inclined at 45o to the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction is 0.25, find the greatest and least tensions of the rope consistent with equilibrium

Assume it is at the point of slipping down the plane,

Perpendicular:
T sin 15 + N = 100 g cos 30

Parallel:
0.25 N + 100 g sin 30 = T cos 15



If it is about to slip up the plane

Perpendicular:
T sin 15 + N = 100 g cos 30

Parallel:
100 g sin 30 = T cos 15 + 0.25 N
