As shown in the figure,a block of mass $\sqrt{3} \text{ kg}$ is kept on a horizontal rough surface with a coefficient of friction $\mu = \frac{1}{3 \sqrt{3}}$. $A$ force $F$ is applied on the vertical face of the block at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The minimum force $F$ required to just move the block is $3x$. Find the value of $3x$.
$\left[ g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2; \sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}; \cos 60^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2} \right]$
