What Is the Minimum Mass Difference for Atwood's Machine with Friction?

[xRadio]

Homework Statement

Two masses are connected over a pulley which has a friction resistance of 0.147 N. What is the minimum mass difference to cause the pulley system to have a non-zero acceleration when released from rest? Total Mass = 250 g

Homework Equations

a= g[(m))/((M)]- f/((M)) Or

a= g[(m))/((M)]

m = mass difference
M = Total mass

The Attempt at a Solution

I just need to get started off in the right direction, as i don't really understand the question

 

[Doc Al]

One side must pull down on the pulley with a force that is 0.147 N greater than the other. Hint: How does the weight of masses relate to the tension in the rope?

Can i just plug in all the values in the equation a= g[(m))/((M)]- f/((M)), and a = 0 and solve for m?
