$A$ 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 $\mu$. The acceleration $\alpha$ of the cart that will prevent the block from falling satisfies:

  • A
    $\alpha > \frac{mg}{\mu}$
  • B
    $\alpha > \frac{g}{\mu m}$
  • C
    $\alpha \ge \frac{g}{\mu}$
  • D
    $\alpha < \frac{g}{\mu}$
