The two blocks (m = 30 kg and M = 100 kg) in the figure below are not attached to each other. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is µs = 0.49, but the surface beneath the larger block is frictionless. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal force F required to keep the smaller block from slipping down the larger block?
