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.
