Two wooden blocks are moving on a smooth horizontal surface such that the block of mass $m$ remains stationary with respect to the block of mass $M$ as shown in the figure. The magnitude of force $P$ is:

  • A
    $(M + m)g \tan \beta$
  • B
    $g \tan \beta$
  • C
    $mg \cos \beta$
  • D
    $(M + m)g \csc \beta$
