    Answer: For the center plate to remain stationed in one position without rotating, the bottom plate has to move to the left at a speed of 2m/s, so as to cancel the force acting on it from the top.

    The center plate will not move when the bottom plate is moving left in a speed of 2m/s to counter the speed of the top plate, because a body will continue to be at rest if all the forces acting towards the body are equal. The center plate will be at rest because we have directed equal force from the top and bottom of the plate.
