The force required to just move a body up the inclined plane is double the force required to just prevent the body from sliding down the plane. The coefficient of friction is $\mu$. The inclination $\theta$ of the plane is

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(\mu)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(\mu/2)$
  • C
    $\tan^{-1}(2\mu)$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1}(3\mu)$
