$A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied at the center of a sphere as shown in the figure. The coefficient of friction between the sphere and the ground is $\mu$. What is the maximum value of $F$ if the sphere does not slip?

  • A
    $\frac{5}{2} \mu Mg$
  • B
    $\frac{4}{3} \mu Mg$
  • C
    $\frac{7}{2} \mu Mg$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{4} \mu Mg$
