When forces $F_1, F_2, F_3$ are acting on a particle of mass $m$ such that $F_2$ and $F_3$ are mutually perpendicular,the particle remains stationary. If the force $F_1$ is now removed,the acceleration of the particle is:

Two beads connected by a massless inextensible string are placed over a fixed ring as shown in the figure. The mass of each bead is $m$,and there is no friction between bead $B$ and the ring. Find the minimum value of the coefficient of friction between bead $A$ and the ring so that the system remains in equilibrium. ($C$ is the center of the ring,and the line $AC$ is vertical.)
