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 choose the correct statement$(s)$.

  • A
    There exists a value of $a_0 = \beta$ at which friction force on block $M$ becomes zero.
  • B
    There exists two values of $a_0 = (\beta + \alpha)$ and $(\beta - \alpha)$ at which the magnitudes of friction acting on block $M$ are equal.
  • C
    The maximum value of static friction force acts on the block $M$ at two accelerations $a_1$ and $a_2$ such that $a_1 + a_2 = 2\beta$.
  • D
    All of the above.
