A 2.19 kg block is held in equilibrium on an incline of angle q = 55.0o by a horizontal force, F, applied in the direction shown in the figure below.

If the coefficient of static friction between block and incline is ms = 0.283, determine the minimum value of F.

Determine the normal force of the incline on the block.

Without the diagram, we're as lost as you are!
Is the force F acting up the plane, or down the plane?
Is the force F acting horizontally or along the plane?
