question 14

Multiple Choice

The forces acting on an object weighing W units on an inclined plane positioned at an angle of θ with the horizontal (see figure) are modeled by​ $\mu W \sin \theta = W \tan \theta$ ​ where μ is the coefficient of friction.Solve the equation for μ and simplify the result.​ ​

• A) \[\mu = \tan \theta\]
• B) \(\mu = \csc \theta\)
• C) \(\mu = \sin \theta\)
• D)​ \(\mu = \sec \theta\)
• E) \(\mu = \cot \theta\)
