$A$ board is balanced on a rough horizontal semicircular log. Equilibrium is obtained with the help of the addition of a weight to one of the ends of the board when the board makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the log and the board is:

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