$A$ box of mass $2 \ kg$ is placed on an inclined plane that makes $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the inclined plane is $0.2$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the box perpendicular to the incline to prevent the box from sliding down. The minimum value of $F$ is (acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ ms^{-2}$) (in $N$)

The force required just to move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required just to prevent the body from sliding down. If the coefficient of friction is $0.25$,the angle of inclination of the plane is ...... $^o$.
