$\mathrm{m}_{1} \mathrm{g}=\mu \mathrm{m}_{2} \mathrm{g} \quad \mathrm{m}_{1} \rightarrow$ mass of hanged part

$\mathrm{m}_{2} \rightarrow$ mass of remaining part

$\mu=\frac{m_{1}}{m_{2}}=\frac{\frac{M}{L} \times \ell}{\frac{M}{L}(L-\ell)}=\frac{\ell}{L-\ell}$

    The masses of blocks A and B are $m$ and $M$ respectively. Between $A$ and $B$, there is a constant frictional force $F$ and $B$ can slide on a smooth horizontal surface. A is set in motion with velocity while $B$ is at rest. What is the distance moved by A relative to $B$ before they move with the same velocity?
