Explanation / Answer

Weight component acting downwards the incline = mgsin15 = 2.8 x 9.8 x sin15 = 7.102 N

also maximum static friction force = 0.59mgcos15 = 0.59 x 2.8 x 9.8 x cos15 = 15.638 N

kinetic friction = 0.43mgcos15 = 0.43 x 2.8 x 9.8 x cos15 = 11.397 N

a) P = 8 N > mgsin15.

friction will act downward, also P - msin15 = 8 - 7.102 = 0.898 N < 15.638

friction force = 0.898 N

b) P = 57 N > mgsin15

friction will act downward, also P - msin15 = 57 - 7.102 = 49.898 N > 15.638

friction force = kinetic friction = 11.397 N
