The Correct Answer is wsinθ

Ajp said:   7 years ago
The plane is horizontal, not inclined so answer w tanθ

Phoring said:   6 years ago
Option A is the right answer. wsin(θ) is the horizontal component which makes the body to move or slide.

Option A is the right answer as per my knowledge.

The Correct answer is option "A".

You are absolutely right. @Gaurav.

Answer C is correct, because it is a case of body slide down an inclined plane. Incase of the horizontal answer, A is correct.

The answer is A.

The minimum force required to slide a body of weight W on a rough horizontal plane is W sinϴ. A body of weight W is required to move up the rough inclined plane whose angle of inclination with the horizontal is α. The effort applied parallel to the plane is given by P = W (sinα + μ cosα).
