$R=\mathbf{M g}-F \sin \phi$

$\mathrm{Fcos} \phi-\mathrm{f}=\mathrm{Ma}$

or $\mathrm{Fcos} \phi-\mu \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{Ma}$

$\text { Fcos } \phi-\mu(\mathrm{Mg}-\mathrm{F} \sin \phi)=\mathrm{Ma}$

$\therefore \quad a=\frac{F}{M} \cos \phi-\mu\left[g-\frac{F}{M} \sin \phi\right]$

${=\frac{F}{M} \cos \phi+\frac{\mu F}{M} \sin \phi-\mu g}$

${=\frac{F}{M}[\cos \phi+\mu \sin \phi]-\mu g}$
