A block of mass m is pulled along a horizontal surface by applying a force at an angle θ with the horizontal. If the block travels with a uniform velocity and has a displacement d and the coefficient of friction is μ, then the work done by the applied force is

a
μmgdcosθ+μsinθ
b
μmgdcosθcosθ+μsinθ
c
μmgdsinθcosθ+μsinθ
d
μmgdcosθcosθ-μsinθ

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Normal force on the block,   N=mg-FsinθBlock moves with uniform velocity. Hence, net force = 0or   Fcosθ=μN=μ(mg-Fsinθ)∴  F=μmgcosθ+μsinθW=Fscosθ=μmgdcosθcosθ+μsinθ
