$A$ block of mass $M$ is placed on a horizontal surface and it is tied with an inextensible string to a block of mass $m$,as shown in the figure. $A$ block of mass $m_0$ is also placed on $M$. If $\mu$ is the coefficient of friction between the block $M$ and the horizontal surface,then the minimum value of $m_0$ required to keep the block $m$ stationary is
