$A$ hollow cone of radius $R$ and height $H = 2R$ is placed on an inclined plane of inclination $\theta$. If $\theta$ is increased gradually,at what value of $\theta$ will the cone topple? Assume sufficient friction is present to prevent slipping.

  • A
    $\tan^{-1}(2/3)$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}(3/2)$
  • C
    $\sin^{-1}(2/3)$
  • D
    $\cos^{-1}(2/3)$
