2) The green colored block shown in the figure below is free to slide along the inclined plane on the cart. The cart has wheels that allow it to move horizontally. If the angle of inclination of the plane is 45° and the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is u,=2/5 find the minimum and maximum acceleration (In terms of g) the cart should have so that the block doesn't slide.
