3) The setup is manipulated to start the large block slipping first
by holding the small mass and ribbon in place at a high inclination:
The ribbon and small mass descend uninhibited at m.g. sin(theta)
the ribbon tension is zero, the large block descends at M.g.sin(theta)
This result is unsurprizing, and so it is not the case that you find interesting, which must occur when mu_k/mu_s = m/M, at the largest mu_k for consideration.
But I will pause at this point, in case I am missing the crux.
