A person of mass \(60\) kg is inside a lift of mass \(940\) kg and presses the button on the control panel. The lift starts moving upwards with an acceleration of \(1.0~\text{ms}^{-2}\). If \(g=10~\text{ms}^{-2}\), the tension in the supporting cable is:
1. \(9680~\text{N}\)
2. \(11000~\text{N}\)
3. \(1200~\text{N}\)
4. \(8600~\text{N}\)

A block of mass \(m\) is in contact with the cart \((C)\) as shown in the figure. 
                    
The coefficient of static friction between the block and the cart is \(\mu.\) The acceleration \(a\) of the cart that will prevent the block from falling satisfies:
1. \(a > \dfrac{mg}{\mu}\)
2. \(a > \dfrac{g}{\mu m}\)
3. \(a \ge \dfrac{g}{\mu}\)
4. \(a < \dfrac{g}{\mu}\)
