    Question

    If W is weight of a body, α is angle of an inclined plane and ϕ is angle of friction, then the force required to drag the body when it is just impending to move the plane, is_____

    A.

    W tan(α + ϕ)

    B.

    W cos(α + ϕ)

    C.

    W sin(α + ϕ)

    D.

    W sec(α + ϕ)

    Correct option is A


    The force required to drag a body when it is just impending to move on an inclined plane is given
    by W tan(α + ϕ)
    where:
    W is the weight of the body,
    α is the angle of the inclined plane,
    ϕ is the angle of friction.
    This equation accounts for both the inclination of the plane and the frictional resistance that must be overcome to initiate motion.
