$A$ pulling force $F$ making an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal is applied on a block of weight $W$ placed on a horizontal table. If the angle of friction is $\alpha$,then the magnitude of the force required to move the body is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{W \sin \alpha}{\tan (\theta - \alpha)}$
  • B
    $\frac{W \cos \alpha}{\cos (\theta - \alpha)}$
  • C
    $\frac{W \sin \alpha}{\cos (\theta - \alpha)}$
  • D
    $\frac{W \tan \alpha}{\sin (\theta - \alpha)}$
