Grade 12th passGeneral Physics

Two blocks of masses M1 = 4kg and M2 = 6kg are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of friction betwen the block M1 and the horizontal surfcae is 0.4. When the system is released, the masses M1 and M2 start accelerating. What additional mass m should be placed over M1 so that the masses (M1 + m) slide with a uniform speed?
