Question: Two masses at rest are connected by a string at rest, to a pulley and hung over the edge of a table where mass 1

Two masses at rest are connected by a string at rest, to a pulley and hung over the edge of a table where mass 1 is on the table and mass 2 is hanging off. The table is flat and NOT RAISED ON AN INCLINE. If the co-efficient of static friction and coefficient of kinetic friction are given as .7 and .5 respectively, find The mass of block 2 that will barely set mass 1 into motion provided the mass of mass 1 is .7kg.(note this is the same as asking what is the biggest mass m1 can be while keeping the system STATIONARY).
