A body of weight W is required to move up on rough inclined plane whose angle of inclination with the horizontal is α. The effort applied parallel to the plane is given by(where μ = tanφ = Coefficient of friction between the plane and the body.)

Question: A body of weight W is required to move up on rough inclined plane whose angle of inclination with the horizontal is α. The effort applied parallel to the plane is given by(where μ = tanφ = Coefficient of friction between the plane and the body.)
[A].

P = W tanα

[B].

P = W tan(α + φ)

[C].

P = W (sinα + μcosα)

[D].

P = W (cosα + μsinα)
