$A$ body of mass $m$ rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the body and the surface is $\mu$. If the mass is pulled by a force $P$ at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal as shown in the figure,the limiting friction between the body and the surface will be:

  • A
    $\mu mg$
  • B
    $\mu \left[ mg + \left( \frac{P}{2} \right) \right]$
  • C
    $\mu \left[ mg - \left( \frac{P}{2} \right) \right]$
  • D
    $\mu \left[ mg - \left( \frac{\sqrt{3} P}{2} \right) \right]$
