CH-6. Problem 35. The two blocks (m=16 kg and M 88 kg) in the figure
are not attached to each other. The coefficient of static friction between
the blocks is Ps 0.38, but the surface beneath the larger block is
friction-less. What is the minimum magnitude of the horizontal force F
required to keep the smaller block from slipping down the larger block?
