Someone is using a scissors to cut a wire of circular cross section and negligible weight. The wire slides in the direction away from the hinge until the angle between the scissors blades becomes $2 \alpha$. The friction coefficient between the blades and the wire, is :-
  • A$\sqrt {1-tan \alpha}$
  • B$2cos \alpha$
  • C$tan \alpha$
  • D$2\, tan \alpha$
