$A$ block is placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $\theta = 30^o$. If the force required to drag it up along the plane is to be smaller than the force required to lift it vertically,the coefficient of friction $\mu$ should be less than:

  • A
    $1/2$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3}/2$
  • C
    $2/3$
  • D
    $1/\sqrt{3}$
