Answer should be A as when force applied to slide a body at an angle theta.

Jayprakash said:   8 years ago
W sin θ is the right answer. Because of min force required.

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

Nadim said:   10 years ago
Answer is w sin theta because minimum force is required.

Ayomidol said:   7 years ago
Answer is A. The horizontal component of the weight.

Vanraj Gajarotar said:   6 years ago
Option A is the right answer as per my knowledge.

Anand Sharma said:   8 years ago
In horizontal, plane factor will be Wcosθ.

Ayyavu said:   10 years ago
W cos is answer. Force act in a horizontal.
