AIIMS 2017 Physics Inclined Plane MCQ Question

In the given scenario, the equation $\tan \theta = \frac{a}{g}$ indicates that the angle θ is determined by the ratio of acceleration (a) to gravitational acceleration (g). Since the net movement is in the backward direction, it implies that the acceleration is acting opposite to the direction of motion, which is consistent with option C, where the angle θ reflects this backward motion. Other options may represent different configurations or angles that do not correspond to the backward movement described, failing to satisfy the condition set by the equation $\tan \theta = \frac{a}{g}$. Understanding the relationship between acceleration and gravitational force is crucial in analyzing motion dynamics in physics.
