$A$ lift is moving downwards with an acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity. $A$ body of mass $M$ kept on the floor of the lift is pulled horizontally. If the coefficient of friction is $\mu$,what is the frictional resistance offered by the body when the lift is moving upwards with a uniform velocity?

  • A
    $Mg$
  • B
    $\mu Mg$
  • C
    $2\mu Mg$
  • D
    Zero
