15 (a)
A force of 300 N is required just to move a block up a plane inclined at 20? to the horizontal, the force being applied parallel to the plane Figure 15(a). If the inclination of the plane is increased to 25?, the force required just to move the block up is 340 N, (the force is acting parallel to the plane). Determine the wight of the block and the coefficient of friction.
