Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–II: Problem 35_H

The two blocks (\(m = 16 \text{ kg}\) and \(M = 88 \text{ kg}\)) in Fig. 6.27 are not attached to each other. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is \(\mu_s = 0.38\), but the surface beneath the larger block is frictionless. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal force \(\vec{F}\) required to keep the smaller block from slipping down the larger block?
