A block of mass `m` is placed at rest on an inclination `theta` to the horizontal.If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is `mu`, then the total force the inclined plane exerts on the block isA. `mg`B. `mu mg cos theta`C. ` mg sin theta`D. `mu mg tan theta`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Only two force are acting, `mg` and net connect force (resultant of fricting and normal reation) from the inclined plane. Since the body is at rest. Therefore these two force should be equal and opposite.
:. Net contact force `= mg`
