A particle of mass `m` is released from height `h` on smooth quarter circular fixed wedge. The horizontal surface `AB` following the circular path at bottom of wedge is rough with coefficient of friction `mu` between surface and `m`. Find the distance from bottom of wedge where the mass will stop.

A

`(2h)/(mu)`

B

`(h)/(mu)`

C

`(h)/(mug)`

D

none of these
