We should draw a Free Body Diagram of the box here. As the box is sitting on a ramp 42 degrees to the horizontal. It experiences only one force that is the gravitational force (mg) downwards whose value is given to be 112.1 N.
Now if we take components of this force.
We get one component as mg sin (Theta) Sliding Downwards from the ramp slope.
We get another component as mg cos (Theta) into the ramp.
Now to move the box we must apply a force opposite to the mg sin (Theta) component as that is the only movable plane.
So the minimum force will be equal to mg sin (Theta)
= 112.1 * Sin( 42 degrees)
= 75 N approximately ( Answer is B)
Despite how many people tell you that it's 75N with the same copy paste answer, I can promise you that the answer is 80 on E2020.
