A box is sitting stationary on a ramp that is 42° to the horizontal. The box has a gravitational force of 112.1 N. What is the minimum amount of force that can be applied to the box to get the box to move?

Force of gravity along the inclined plane


F_x = F_g sin\theta

here we have


F_g = 112.1 N


\theta = 42 degree

now we have


F_x = (112.1 N)sin42


F_x = 75 N

so here we require 75 N force along the incline to move the box upwards
