Two blocks (\(P\) and \(Q\))  with respectively masses \(2~\text{kg}\) and \(1.5~\text{kg}\) are joined by a massless thread. These blocks are mounted on a frictionless pully which is fixed on the edge of a cube \((S),\) as shown in the figure below. Block \(P\) is positioned on the top surface which has no friction and block \(Q\) is in contact with side-surface, having coefficient friction \(\mu\). The cube \((S)\) moves towards the right with acceleration of \(\dfrac{g}{2},\) where \(g\) is gravitational acceleration. During this movement the block \(P\) and \(Q\) remain stationary. The value of \(\mu\) is:\(\text {(take} \left.{g}=10 ~\text{m/s}^2 \right)\)
