$A$ particle of mass $M$ moves along a horizontal $x$-axis from $x=0$ to $x=L$. The coefficient of kinetic friction varies as a function of $x$ as $\mu(x) = \mu_0 - \alpha x$, where $\mu_0$ and $\alpha$ are constants of appropriate dimensions, such that $\mu(L)=0$. The total work done by the frictional force during the motion is $n\mu_0 MgL$, where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity. The value of $n$ is:
