Newton’s Third Law of Motion

The horse pulls the cart and the cart pulls the horse in response as per Newton third law. So the big question is, “Don’t the two forces cancel each other? How does the cart accelerate?”

Question

a. What is the minimum mass m that will not slip?

b. If the minimum mass is nudged, it will start being pulled up the incline. What will the acceleration be when that happens?
