A particle is placed at rest inside a hollow hemisphere of radius \(R\). The coefficient of friction between the particle and the hemisphere is \(\mu=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\). The maximum height upto which the particle can remain stationary is

  1. A \(\frac{R}{2}\)
  2. B \(\left(1-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) R\)
  3. C \(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} R\)
  4. D \(\frac{3R}{8}\)
