$A$ block of mass $m$ rests on a rough inclined plane. The coefficient of friction between the surface and the block is $\mu$. At what angle of inclination $\theta$ of the plane to the horizontal will the block just start to slide down the plane?

  • A
    $\theta = \tan^{-1} \mu$
  • B
    $\theta = \cos^{-1} \mu$
  • C
    $\theta = \sin^{-1} \mu$
  • D
    $\theta = \sec^{-1} \mu$
