The force required just to move a body up an inclined plane is double the force required just to prevent the body from sliding down. If $\mu $ is the coefficient of friction, the inclination of plane to the horizontal is
  • A$\theta \, = \,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,(3\mu )$
  • B$\theta \, = \,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,(2\mu )$
  • C$\theta \, = \,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,(4\mu )$
  • D$\theta \, = \,{\tan ^{ - 1}}\,(\mu )$
