    In the given arrangement of a doubly inclined plane two blocks of masses $\mathrm{M}$ and $\mathrm{m}$ are placed. The blocks are connected by a light string passing over an ideal pulley as shown. The coefficient of friction between the surface of the plane and the blocks is $0.25$ . The value of $\mathrm{m}$, for which $\mathrm{M}=10$ $\mathrm{kg}$ will move down with an acceleration of $2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$, is : (take $\mathrm{g}=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ and $\left.\tan 37^{\circ}=3 / 4\right)$
