A horizontal force F acts on the block of mass m and the block remains stationary, the minimum force F required to pull it(μ = 12) is:
 

a
mg2
b
mg2cos θ
c
mg5
d
none of these

detailed solution

Correct option is

For minimum force the object should be pulled at angle equal to angle of friction and applied force should be equal to⇒ tan θ = μ = 12hence cos θ = 25  and sin θ = 15Hence applied force F = mg5
