Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, b, c): Superimpose an upward acceleration a on the system. The box becomes stationary. The particle has an upward acceleration a and a downward acceleration g. If a = g, the particle has no acceleration, and if a > g, the particle has a net upward acceleration, and if a < g, the particle has a net downward acceleration.
