The component of weight mg of block along the inclined plane = mg sin θ. The minimum frictional force to be overcome is also mg sin θ. To make the block just move up the plane the minimum force applied must overcome the component mg sin θ of gravitational force as well as the frictional force mg sin θ = 2 mg sin θ.
∴ Force needed = 2 mg sin θ
= 2 × 1 × 10 × sin 60°
= 20 ×
= 17.32 N
