Question: The two blocks (m = 16 kg and M = 88 kg) in Fig. 6-39 are not attached to each other. The coefficient of static

The two blocks (m = 16 kg and M = 88 kg) in Fig. 6-39 are not attached to each other. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is ?s= 0.38, 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?
