    A block of mass $m$ is on an inclined plane of angle $\theta$. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is $\mu$ and $\tan \theta>\mu$. The block is held stationary by applying a force $\mathrm{P}$ parallel to the plane. The direction of force pointing up the plane is taken to be positive. As $\mathrm{P}$ is varied from $\mathrm{P}_1=$ $m g(\sin \theta-\mu \cos \theta)$ to $P_2=m g(\sin \theta+\mu \cos \theta)$, the frictional force $f$ versus $P$ graph will look like
