The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ is smooth,while the lower half is rough. If a block released from the top comes to rest at the bottom,what is the coefficient of friction between the block and the rough surface?

  • A
    $\mu = \sin \theta$
  • B
    $\mu = \cot \theta$
  • C
    $\mu = 2 \cos \theta$
  • D
    $\mu = 2 \tan \theta$
