The minimum acceleration that must be impprted to the cart in the figure so that the block `A` will not fall (given `mu` is the coefficient if friction between the surface of block and cart) is given by:

A

`a lt (g)/(mu)`

B

`a gt (mg)/(mu)`

C

`a lt (g)/(mu m)`

D

`a ge (g)/(mu)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`n = ma`
`f_(max) = mu N = mu ma`
`mu ma ge mg`
`a ge (g)/(mu)`
