A force of x Newtons is applied at an angle of x degrees above the horizontal to
a mass of x kg which sits on an incline of angle x degrees. The coefficient
of friction between the mass and the incline is x. For a sufficient applied force so
that the mass moves upward , the net force is given by the expression
F_net = F * cos(α + β) - m * g * sin(β) - u * N
Note:
F_net = net force
F = applied force
α = angle of the applied force
β = angle that the mass sits on
m = mass
g = gravity
u = coefficient of friction between the mass and the incline
N = normal force of the object
Determine the expression to find the angle of the applied force (α).
