Imagine the situation in which the given arrangement is placed inside a trolley that can move only in the horizontal direction, as shown in 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

37-708

  • 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
