Questions  

The minimum acceleration that must be imparted to the cart in the figure so that the block A will not fall (given μ is the coefficient of friction  between the surfaces of block and cart) is given by:

a
μg
b
c
d
μg

detailed solution

Correct option is B

The friction force on the block will prevent the block from falling it.From figure:          N = ma and          F = mg ⇒ μN = mg ⇒ μma = mg  ⇒ a = gμ
