The coefficient of static friction between the 3.00kg crate and the 35.0 incline

The coefficient of static friction between the 3.00-kg crate and the 35.0° incline of the figure is 0.300. What minimum force F must be applied to the crate perpendicular to the incline to prevent the crate from sliding down the incline?

why isn't the force of gravity in the Y direction subtracted in the total Force equatoin? isn't it going in the negative direction?
