If a pushing force making an angle $\alpha$ with the horizontal is applied on a block of mass $m$ placed on a horizontal table and the angle of friction is $\beta$,then the minimum magnitude of the force required to move the block is

  • A
    $\frac{m g \sin \beta}{\cos (\alpha-\beta)}$
  • B
    $\frac{m g \sin \beta}{\cos (\alpha+\beta)}$
  • C
    $\frac{m g \sin \beta}{\sin (\alpha+\beta)}$
  • D
    $\frac{m g \cos \beta}{\cos (\alpha-\beta)}$
