$A$ box of mass $15 \text{ kg}$ is kept on the floor of a stationary trolley. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the trolley is $0.12$. Keeping the box in a stationary state over the trolley,the maximum acceleration with which the trolley can be moved horizontally in $\text{m s}^{-2}$ is: $(g = 10 \text{m s}^{-2})$

$A$ block of mass $M$ is being pulled along a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is $\mu$.
