$A$ body is moving down a long inclined plane of slope $37^{\circ}$. The coefficient of friction between the body and the plane varies as $\mu = 0.3x$,where $x$ is the distance travelled down the plane. The body will have maximum speed at:

  • A
    at $x = 1.16 \, m$
  • B
    at $x = 2 \, m$
  • C
    at $x = 2.5 \, m$
  • D
    at the bottom of the plane
