To lift the body from ground u need total upward force on object equal to total downward force..

 

Draw free body diagram n u will see normal and Fsin theta acts in vertically upward direction.

 

And weight acts in vertically downward direction

 

Thus 

 

F sin theta + normal = weight

 

Fsin @ + N = mg

 

BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

let's assume surface is frictionless.the most optimum case is when @=90deg&F=Mg,so that N=0.
