    $A$ block placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $(\theta =30^o)$ can just be pushed upwards by applying $a$ force $"F"$ as shown. If the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is increased to $(\theta = 60^o)$, the same block can just be prevented from sliding down by application of a force of same magnitude. Thecoefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is
