Dear Dipesh,

 

he force on an object in contact with a surface can be resolved into a component perpendicular to the surface at a given point (the normal force), and a component parallel to the surface (the tangential force). In particular, a mass of weight w = mg on an inclined plane at an angle  to the horizontal will have normal and tangential forces of

 



respectively, where g is the gravitational acceleration, which essentially points to the center of the Earth.
