$A$ block of mass $m$ slides along a floor while a force of magnitude $F$ is applied to it at an angle $\theta$ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of kinetic friction is $\mu_{K}$. Then,the block's acceleration $a$ is given by: ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity)

  • A
    $-\frac{F}{m} \cos \theta - \mu_{K}(g - \frac{F}{m} \sin \theta)$
  • B
    $\frac{F}{m} \cos \theta - \mu_{K}(g - \frac{F}{m} \sin \theta)$
  • C
    $\frac{F}{m} \cos \theta - \mu_{K}(g + \frac{F}{m} \sin \theta)$
  • D
    $\frac{F}{m} \cos \theta + \mu_{K}(g - \frac{F}{m} \sin \theta)$
