arey uspar pseudo force lagega
so
N=ma
frcition=mgfrcition=uN
so
uma=mg
so a=g/u

let the normal force on the small mass m be N

let the friction be f

so as it is accelerating with the cart in forward dir.
we have N=ma

further for vrtical equillibrium we have

f=mg

but f<=μN=μma

so we have

μma>=mg

a>=g/μ
