U can always just do the classic roller coaster going up an incline and create some sort of story from that.
Answer:
44.6 N
Explanation:
Draw a free body diagram of the block. There are four forces on the block:
Weight force mg pulling down,
Normal force N pushing up,
Friction force Nμ pushing left,
and applied force F pulling right 30° above horizontal.
Sum of forces in the y direction:
∑F = ma
N + F sin 30° − mg = 0
N = mg − F sin 30°
Sum of forces in the x direction:
∑F = ma
F cos 30° − Nμ = 0
F cos 30° = Nμ
N = F cos 30° / μ
Substitute:
mg − F sin 30° = F cos 30° / μ
mg = F sin 30° + (F cos 30° / μ)
Plug in values:
mg = 20 N sin 30° + (20 N cos 30° / 0.5)
mg = 44.6 N
Well, the tension in the thread will probably quadruple, but the hanging body will continue to just hang there.
The question gives us no evidence that it is doing any oscillating, and there's no reason for it to start just because it suddenly got heavier.
