2.0\,\text{kg}

block rests on a

15^{\circ}

incline. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is

\mu_s=0.50

. A force

F

is applied parallel to the incline and directed up the slope. For which range of

F

will the block remain at rest? (a)

5.1\,\text{N}\le F\le 9.5\,\text{N}

(b)

0\le F\le 14.6\,\text{N}

(c)

5.1\,\text{N}\le F\le 14.6\,\text{N}

(d)

0\le F\le 9.5\,\text{N}
