In the arrangement shown in the figure, mass of the block $B$ and $A$ is $2m$ and $m$ respectively. Surface between $B$ and floor is smooth. The block $B$ is connected to the block $C$ by means of a string pulley system. If the whole system is released, then find the minimum value of mass of block $C$ so that block $A$ remains stationary $w.r.t. B$. Coefficient of friction between $A$ and $B$ is $\mu$
