A 120 lb block is placed on a plane inclined at an angle of 350. The coefficient of static friction is 0.25; the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.15. What force parallel to the plane is necessary (a) to hold the block from sliding down the plane; (b) to pull the block up the plane with uniform speed?
