$A$ block of mass $m$ is pulled along a horizontal surface by applying a force at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal. The friction coefficient between the block and the surface is $\mu$. If the block travels at a uniform velocity,then the work done during its displacement $d$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{\mu mgd}{\sin \theta}$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu mgd}{\cos \theta}$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu mgd}{\cos \theta - \mu \sin \theta}$
  • D
    $\frac{\mu mgd}{\cos \theta + \mu \sin \theta}$
