The formula to calculate the Force Required is:
\[ F = W \left( \frac{\sin(\psi) + \mu_{friction} \cos(\psi)}{\cos(\psi) - \mu_{friction} \sin(\psi)} \right) \]
Force Required is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. In other words, a force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ F = 60 \left( \frac{\sin(0.4363323129985) + 0.4 \cos(0.4363323129985)}{\cos(0.4363323129985) - 0.4 \sin(0.4363323129985)} \right) = 63.8966603008098 \text{ N} \]
