Excerise 7D Question 5 (Edexcel A-level maths year 2 applied(

I've done part a to the question but I keep getting part be wrong. The solutionbank isn't helping either so can someone explain how to do it?
When you resolve vertically you realise the only forces you need to consider are scostheta, R and W.
and when you resolve horizontally, you need to consider ssintheta and F.
then you solve for R and F, using part a values of theta and S
then use the formula friction = mu*normal
where mu is coefficient of friction.
Hope that helps :smile:
