The two blocks (m =16 kg, M =88 kg) in Fig. are not attached to each other. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is µs =0.38, but the surface beneath the larger block is frictionless. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal force required to keep the smaller block from slipping down the larger block?
