A block of mass m= 4 kg rests on a larger block of mass M= 12 kg and the two are connected by a light string and pulley. What is the maximum force, F that can be applied to mass M before it moves. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is p, = 0.1 and between the block and floor, p, =0.2. m F M
