Ok the question is
Mass m1 is on an inclined surface at angle @ and is connected to a second hanging block with mass m2 by a cord passing over a small, frictionless pulley. the oeficient of static friction is u and the coefficient of kinetic friction is uk.
I first had to find m2 when m1 is moving up the ramp
and then i had to fine m2 when m1 is moving down the ramp. I can do those
im just haveing problems with

for what rage of values of m2 will the blocks remain at rest if they are released from rest?

Work it out with Newton 1st Law to find the max mass to stay at rest.
