Physics Quiz: Minimum Force to Prevent a Block from Sliding Down a Plane with Friction

A block sits on an inclined plane. What magnitude force do you need to push to prevent the block from sliding down the incline? What force do you need to push to make the block start to accelerate UP the incline? Show your work.

Thank you!!! I don't know why there are so little videos on these types of problems (where the mass is pushed horizontally on an incline, not parallel). So glad I found this video!!

I thought that the direction of friction is the opposite of the velocity of the moving object. Shouldent the force of friction be moving in the opposite direction that it is shown?
