A body of weight W is required to move up on rough inclined plane whose angle of inclination with the horizontal is α. The effort applied parallel to the plane is given by(where μ = tanφ = Coefficient of friction between the plane and the body.)
P = W tanα
P = W tan(α + φ)
P = W (sinα + μcosα)
P = W (cosα + μsinα)

Consider the free body of diagram of the block moving upwards. The force P we are applying to the right and component of weight along the inclined plane wsina to the left and frictional force uwcosa to the left. Consider the force balance we will arrive at the equation as stated at C.

From free body diagram,

p = u*R+w*sina.
p = u*(w*cosa)+wsina.
p = w(ucosa+sina).

Effort applied = P (acting to the right).
Frictional force = uWcosa(acting against P).
Gravitational force = Wsina(acting downwards).

So equation will be in equilibrium as:
P = Wsina + uWcosa.
P = W(sina+ ucosa).

From free body diagram:

ΓH = 0;

p = wcosa+MR.

Γv = 0;

R = wsina.

p = wcosa+Mwsina.

p = w(cosa+Msina).

Anyone provide me, its free body diagram.

What is free body diagram? Please explain.

Force due to gravity parallel to inclined is w(sina) force due to friction is u(w cosa).
