An effort of 180 N is required just to move a certain body up an inclined plane of angle 15°, the force being parallel to the plane. If the angle of inclination of the plane is made 20°, the effort required, again applied parallel to the plane, is found to be 210 N. Find the weight of the body and co-efficient of friction.
