Question 27

A particle of mass m m\,m kg rests on a rough plane inclined at 30° 30°\,30° to the horizontal. A horizontal force of magnitude P P\,P N acts on the particle in the vertical plane containing a line of greatest slope, pushing it into the plane. The coefficient of friction is 13\displaystyle \frac1331​.

Find, in terms of m m\,m and ggg, the set of values of P P\,P for which the particle remains in equilibrium.
