A block of mass 2 kg slides down an inclined plane which makes an angle 30 degree with horizontal mu=?3/2
What force should be applied to the block so that block moves
1) down the plane without acceleration
2) up the plane without acceleration

Dear Student
Kindly find the answer of your asked query.


m = 2 kgθ=30 degreeμ is always less than 1 hence it should be 0.5.for downward motion:F = mgsinθ-frF = mgsinθ-μRF=mgsinθ-μmgcosθF=mgsinθ-μcosθF=2×10(sin30-32cos30)F=2012-0.5×32=1.34 Nfor upward motion:F = mgsinθ+frF = mgsin+μRF=mgsinθ+μmgcosθF=mgsinθ+μcosθF=2×10(sin30+32cos30)F=2012+0.5×32=18.66 N

Hope this information will clear your doubt laws of motion.
