Expert Solution

Step 1

From the diagram, we can clearly see that the force F is at an angle 50 (30+20) degrees from the plane.

Step 2

Hence, we can indicate all the forces acting on the block using the free body diagram as below.

Here, N is the normal force perpendicular to the surface

mg is the weight of the block
