$A$ block of mass $M = 100 \, kg$ is pulled by a force $T$ at an angle of $37^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the ground is $\mu = 1/3$. $A$ person of mass $m = 25 \, kg$ is standing on a platform and pulls the block with the force $T$. Find the maximum upward acceleration $a_{\max}$ of the person such that the block just starts to move.

  • A
    $\frac{4g}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{g}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{3g}{4}$
