A window washer of mass M is sitting on a platform suspended by a system of cables and pulleys. He is pulling on the cable with a force of magnitude F.The cables and pulleys are ideal (massless and frictionless), and the platform has negligible mass. 
Find the magnitude of the minimum force F that allows the window washer to move upward. 
Express your answer in terms of the mass M and the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity g.
