$A$ wooden block of mass $m$ resting on a rough surface (coefficient of friction $\mu$) is pulled by a force $F$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal,as shown in the figure. The acceleration of the block moving horizontally is:

  • A
    $\frac{F}{m}(\cos \theta + \mu \sin \theta) - \mu g$
  • B
    $\frac{F \cos \theta}{m}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu F \sin \theta}{m}$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{m}(\cos \theta - \mu \sin \theta) - \mu g$
