$A$ uniform rod of length $L$ and mass $M$ is placed on a rough horizontal surface. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied at one end of the rod such that the rod is just in the state of rest. The coefficient of friction varies according to the relation $\mu = Kx$,where $K$ is a positive constant and $x$ is the distance from the end where the force is not applied. Find the tension at the midpoint of the rod.
