Blocks P and Q, of mass m kg and 5 kg respectively, are attached to the ends of a light inextensible string. The string passes over a small smooth pulley which is fixed at the top of a rough plane inclined at 35° to the horizontal. Block P is at rest on the plane and block Q hangs vertically below the pulley (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between block P and the plane is 0.2. Find the set of values of m for which the two blocks remain at rest.
