Detailed Solution
See fig. of the question,From figure, R=10cos30∘=53Nand μR=10sin30∘=5N(Note that μR=0⋅7×53=6⋅062NThis is maximum attainable frictional force. When the inclination of the plank is raised, then 10 sin θ increases. The block will remain in rest till 10 sin θ attains a value 6.062 N. After that the box will start sliding down the plank)
