A hanging mass M is connected to a four times bigger mass by using a string-pulley arrangement, as shown in the figure. The bigger mass is placed on a horizontal ice-slab and being pulled by 2 Mg force. In this situation, tension in the string is 
Mg for x =_________. Neglect mass of the string and friction of the block (bigger mass) with ice slab. (Given g = acceleration due to gravity)
