When a body of mass M slides down an inclined plane of inclination `theta`, having coefficient of friction `mu` through a distance s, the work done against friction is :

A

`(mu Mg cos theta) s`

B

`( mu Mg sin theta) s`

C

`Mg(mu cos theta- sin theta) s`

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Work done against friction `= -`work done by friction `=(mu mg cos theta)s`.
Hence (A) is correct.
