A body of mass 25kg rests in limiting equilibrium on a plane 30 degrees to the horizontal. If the plane is raised until it is at an angle of 60 degrees to the horizontal, find:

a) the least force acting up the plane required to keep the mass in equilibrium.
b) the horizontal force required to keep the body from slipping down the plane.

Hi Wildareal,

I'm not 100% sure, but

for
a) f=25sin(30)
b) f=25sin(60)

Since the particles are static.
