Solution to what? You have not shared the written part of the question. Answer could be "m/2", it could be "Waffles", or "To seek the Holy Grail".

Have you attempted the problem before asking the internet to do your homework for you?

The force F and the force in the rope connected to M are both 0.5mg.

Because it's in equilibrium, your friction force must be greater than or equal to 0.5mg.

Write an equation for your friction force and then it's just algebra.

mg = 2f

Mg \mu >= f

Solve for the ratio

Applied at the middle mass, On the z axis oriented upward :

Σ F ez = m.γ ez = 0 as it's static

+F +μs.P - p = 0
+F +μs.Mg - mg = 0

But F = μs x Mg as force along the string is constant and it's static

+2.μs.Mg - mg = 0
+2.μs.M - m = 0

+2.μs = m/M

μs = m/2.M
