let F be the pseudo force experienced by the block .
and Fk be the kinetic frictional force acting up the incline.

let m be the mass of the block
F = m *3
after the drawing the FBD

there is no motion perpendicular to incline

N + Fsin37° - mgCos 37° = 0

and along the incline

mg sin37° + Fcos 37° - Fk = 0
mg * 3/5 + 3*m *4/5 = Fk

Fk = m( 3*g+3*4)/5 = 42*m/5

is my answer correct?
