The acceleration of a body of mass $m$ sliding down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination $\theta$ and a coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$ is:

  • A
    $a=g(\sin \theta+\mu \cos \theta)$
  • B
    $a=g(\sin \theta-\mu \cos \theta)$
  • C
    $a=g(\cos \theta-\mu \sin \theta)$
  • D
    $a=g(\cos \theta+\mu \sin \theta)$
