A cylinder rests in a supporting carriage, as shown. The side of the carriage makes an angle with the horizontal and the side is vertical. The carriage lies on a fixed horizontal surface and is being pulled towards left with a horizontal acceleration . The magnitude of the normal reactions exerted by sides and of the carriage on the cylinder is and , respectively (neglect friction everywhere). Then, as the magnitude of acceleration of the carriage is increased, choose the correct statement.
