A 15-kg box is resting on a wedge which has an angle of inclination of 30° and a coefficient of friction 0.15. What is the value of gravity's vector?

The component of the weight that points down the incline is 73.5 N.
Explanation:
Gravity's vector,
That is the weight of that box. You can resolve that force into a component perpendicular against the wedge's incline and one down the incline. I will assume you are asking for that second one.
The component of the weight that points down the incline,
I can't think how to interpret your question to require use of the friction coefficient.
I hope this helps,
