The force required just to move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required just to prevent the body from sliding down. If $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction,the inclination of the plane to the horizontal is:

  • A
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(3\mu)$
  • B
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(2\mu)$
  • C
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(4\mu)$
  • D
    $\theta = \tan^{-1}(\mu)$
