A block of mass M rests on a rough horizontal surface as shown. Coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is μ. A force F = Mg acting at angle \(\theta\) with the vertical side of the block pulls it. In which of the following cases the block can be pulled along the surface:


- \(\tan \theta \geq \mu\)
- \(\tan \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \geq \mu\)
- \(\cot \theta \geq \mu\)
- \(\cot \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) \geq \mu\)
Answer
(D) ( 2 )
