At the instant $t = 0$,a force $F = kt$ ($k$ is a constant) acts on a small body of mass $m$ resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The force is applied at an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal. The time at which the body leaves the surface is:

  • A
    $mg\,k\,\sin\,\alpha$
  • B
    $\frac{k\,\sin \alpha}{mg}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg\,\sin \alpha}{k}$
  • D
    $\frac{mg}{k\,\sin \alpha}$
