Problem

A 10 kg10\,\text{kg} block rests on a rough incline of 30∘30^{\circ} with the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is 0.60.6. The block remains at rest. What is the magnitude of the resultant contact force exerted by the plane on the block? (Take g=10 m s−2g = 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}.) (a) 86.6 N86.6\,\text{N} (b) 100 N100\,\text{N} (c) 112 N112\,\text{N} (d) 101 N101\,\text{N}
