A block of mass m is in contact with the cart C as shown in the Figure. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is μ. The acceleration s of the cart that will prevent the block from falling satisfies :

a
α
b
α>mgμ
c
α>gμm
d
α≥gμ

detailed solution

Correct option is D

FBD of block w.r.t. cartHere, f = mg and N = mαBut f≤μN, so mg≤μmα⇒α≥gμ
