$A$ block of mass $1 \, kg$ is at rest on a horizontal table. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is $0.5$. The magnitude of the force acting upwards at an angle of $60^{\circ}$ from the horizontal that will just start the block moving is

  • A
    $5 \, N$
  • B
    $\frac{20}{2 + \sqrt{3}} \, N$
  • C
    $\frac{20}{2 - \sqrt{3}} \, N$
  • D
    $10 \, N$
