A particle of mass 0.12 kg is placed on a plane which is inclined at an angle of 40° to the horizontal. The particle is kept in equilibrium by a force of magnitude \(P N\) acting up the plane at an angle of 30° above a line of greatest slope, as shown in the diagram. The coefficient of friction between the particle and the plane is 0.32. Find the set of possible values of \(P\).
