Here are the steps to solve this problem:

1. **Convert the weights to the same units**: Since 1lb = 16oz, we convert the weights to ounces for consistency. So, the weight of the object is (10 * 16 + 13)oz = 173oz and the force of friction is (6 * 16 + 5)oz = 101oz.

2. **Calculate the friction coefficient (f)**: The friction coefficient is the ratio of the force of friction to the weight of the object. So, f = Force of friction / Weight of the object = 101oz / 173oz = 0.584.

3. **Find the angle of the inclined plane (θ)**: When the object is at the verge of sliding, the friction coefficient is equal to the tangent of the angle of the inclined plane. So, θ = arctan(f) = arctan(0.584). This gives the angle in radians.

4. **Convert the angle from radians to degrees**: θ = 0.527 radians * (180/π) = 30.2 degrees.

5. **Convert the decimal degrees to degrees, minutes, and seconds**: The decimal part of the degrees is 0.2. So, the minutes are 0.2 * 60 = 12 minutes. The decimal part of the minutes is 0, so the seconds are 0 * 60 = 0 seconds.

So, the angle of the inclined plane is approximately 30 degrees, 12 minutes, and 0 seconds.
