The force required to move a body up an inclined plane having coefficient of friction $μ$ is given by:
$F = m g (s i n α + μ c o s α)$ . So the acceleration of the body will be:
$a = F / m = g (s i n α + μ c o s α)$ which is independent of its mass.

in this case friction acts opposite to the applied force.

The force required to move a body up an inclined plane having coefficient of friction μ is given by:F=mg(sinα+μcosα). So the acceleration of the body will be:a=F/m=g(sinα+μcosα) which is independent of its mass.in this case friction acts opposite to the applied force.
