Let $F_{1}=F_{2}=F$ .

Normal force equals (using Newton's third law) $N=mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o}$ .

$F_{f}\leq \mu N = \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o})$ , but $F_{f}\leq F(\cos30^o+\cos37^o)$ for all $F_{f}$ (in order to start moving the break). Therefore $F(\cos 30^o+\cos37^o)\geq \mu(mg+F\sin30^{o}-F\sin37^{o})$ , solving for $F$ : $F\geq \frac{\mu mg}{\cos30^o+\cos37^o-\mu\sin30^o+\mu\sin37^o}\approx 46,91\; \textbf{N}$
