Detailed Solution

Given ,mass of the body , m=1kg
Coefficient of static friction,  μ=1/3
Let's draw the free body diagram of the block

Using the condition of the equilibrium in X-direction
                         Fcosθ=f=ϕ=μN    ....(i)
In  y- direction
               Fsinθ+N=mg        ....(ii)
            N=mgFsinθ
Substituting the value of N in Eq.(i)
We  get 
         F=μmgcosθ+μsinθF=μmg1+μ2 
Substituting the values in the above equation, we get 
F=13×101+(13)2F=5N
Hence, the body move by applying minimum possible force of 5N. so, the value of F will be 5.
