A block of 50 kg mass is on an inclined plane. The block is connected to another hanging mass M by an inextensible massless string through two massless pulleys as shown in the figure below. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane is 0.3 . Neglecting pulley friction, the minimum value of M required to start the upward motion of the block is $\_\_\_\_$ kg (rounded off to 1 decimal place).
