Problem

For a light rope pulling a block along a horizontal rough surface, at what angle θ\theta above the horizontal should the rope be held so that the pulling force required to start motion is minimum? (Coefficient of static friction is μs\mu_s.) a) θ=sin⁡−1(μs)\theta = \sin^{-1}(\mu_s) b) θ=tan⁡−1(μs)\theta = \tan^{-1}(\mu_s) c) θ=45∘\theta = 45^{\circ} d) θ=cot⁡−1(μs)\theta = \cot^{-1}(\mu_s)
