Pulling force making an angle $\theta $ to the horizontal is applied on a block of weight $W$ placed on a horizontal table. If the angle of friction is $\alpha $, then the magnitude of force required to move the body is equal to
  • A$\frac{{W\sin \alpha }}{{g\tan (\theta - \alpha )}}$
  • B$\frac{{W\cos \alpha }}{{\cos (\theta - \alpha )}}$
  • C$\frac{{W\sin \alpha }}{{\cos (\theta - \alpha )}}$
  • D$\frac{{W\tan \alpha }}{{\sin (\theta - \alpha )}}$
