The coefficient of friction between the block of mass ${M_1}$ and the surface is $\mu$. When the system is released,it moves with acceleration. What mass $m$ should be placed on the block ${M_1}$ so that the system moves with a constant velocity?

  • A
    $\frac{{{M_2 - M_1}}}{\mu }$
  • B
    $\frac{{{M_2}}}{\mu } - {M_1}$
  • C
    ${M_2} - \frac{{{M_1}}}{\mu }$
  • D
    $({M_2} - {M_1})\mu $
