Imagine the situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside a trolley that can move only in the horizontal direction,as shown in the figure. If the trolley is accelerated horizontally along the positive $x$-axis with $a_0$,and if $a_{min}$ and $a_{max}$ are the minimum and maximum values of $a_0$ for which the blocks remain stationary with respect to the surface,then identify the correct statements.

  • A
    If $a_0 < a_{min}$,the block $m$ accelerates downward.
  • B
    If $a_0 > a_{max}$,the block $m$ accelerates upward.
  • C
    The block $m$ does not accelerate up or down when $a_{min} \leq a_0 \leq a_{max}$.
  • D
    All of the above.

Consider two blocks of mass $m_1 = 5 \, kg$ and $m_2 = 10 \, kg$ placed on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks and the surface is $\mu = 0.2$. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied to the $10 \, kg$ block. What is the maximum force $F$ (in $N$) that can be applied such that neither block moves? (Take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
