The upper half of an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$ is perfectly smooth,while the lower half is rough. $A$ body starting from rest at the top comes back to rest at the bottom. The coefficient of friction $\mu$ for the lower half is given by:

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