A block of weight $W$ is kept on a rough horizontal surface (friction coefficient $\mu$). Two forces $W/2$ each are applied as shown in the figure. Choose the $CORRECT$ statement :-
  • Afor $\mu > \frac{\sqrt 3}{5}$ block will move
  • Bfor $\mu > \frac{\sqrt 3}{5}$, work done by friction force is zero (in ground frame).
  • C$\mu > \frac{\sqrt 3}{5}$ friction force will do positive work (in ground frame)
  • Dfor $\mu > \frac{\sqrt 3}{5}$ block will move
