A block placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\left(\theta=30^{\circ}\right)$ can just be pushed upwards by applying a force " $F$ " as shown. If the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is increased to $\left(\theta=60^{\circ}\right)$, the same block can just be prevented from sliding down by application of a force of same magnitude. The coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is

819-1482

  • A

    $\frac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}$

  • B

    $\frac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{3}-1}$

  • C

    $\frac{2 \sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{3}+1}$

  • D

    none of these
