Block $B$ lying on a table weighs $W$. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the table is $\mu$. Assume that the cord between $B$ and the knot is horizontal. The maximum weight of the block $A$ for which the system will be stationary is

  • A
    $\frac{W \tan \theta}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\mu W \tan \theta$
  • C
    $\mu W \sqrt{1+\tan ^{2} \theta}$
  • D
    $\mu W \sin \theta$
