    A block of mass mm rests on a horizontal surface with coefficient of static friction μs\mu_s. A force FF is applied at an angle hetaheta to the horizontal. The minimum force required to just move the block is:

    A

    Fmin=μsmgF_{min} = \mu_s mg

    B

    Fmin=μsmg\coshetaF_{min} = \frac{\mu_s mg}{\cosheta}

    Fmin=μsmg\sinhetaF_{min} = \frac{\mu_s mg}{\sinheta}

    D

    Fmin=μsmg\cosheta+μs\sinhetaF_{min} = \frac{\mu_s mg}{\cosheta + \mu_s \sinheta}
