In the figure,two blocks $M$ and $m$ are tied together with an inextensible and light string. The mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface with a coefficient of friction $\mu$,and the mass $m$ is hanging vertically. The pulley is frictionless. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.

  • A
    The system will accelerate for any value of $m$.
  • B
    The system will accelerate only when $m > M$.
  • C
    The system will accelerate only when $m > \mu M$.
  • D
    Nothing can be said.
