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 $a_0$,then identify the correct statement$(s)$ related to the tension $T$ in the string.

  • A
    No value of $a_0$ exists at which $T$ is equal to zero.
  • B
    There exists a value of $a_0$ at which $T = mg$.
  • C
    If $T < mg$,then it must be more than $\mu Mg$.
  • D
    All of the above.
