    mass of block, m = 20 kg

    let teh angle of inclination of the ramp with the horizontal is θ.

    Weight of the block = mg

    There are two components of the weight

    The component of weight of block along the plane = mg Sinθ

    The component of weight of block normal to the plane = mg Cosθ

    Friction force is acting opposite to the motion, i. e., along the plane and upwards, f = μN = μ mg Cosθ

    Look at the diagram to find the directions of force.
