The concepts needed to solve this problem are the Newton’s second law of motion and static friction.
Draw a useful force diagram to solve for reaction force and the component of the weight of the mug along the inclined plane. Use the concept that the static friction force is self-adjusting friction force and solve for the static friction force on the mug.
Use the equation for static friction force and use the solved static friction force and solve for the required coefficient of static friction.
