Let the acceleration of both rope and block bea.

Let the tension that is exerted between block and rope at the interface beT.

Hence from free body diagram of both block and rope, we have

F-T=ma
andT=Ma

\impliesForce exerted on the block=T=\dfrac{MF}{M+m}

A thermometer reads the temperature in a room.On the other hand, a thermostat regulates the temperature. It helps control the temperature in the room by making small adjustments to heat or cool the room. If it gets too cold in the room, the thermostat adjusts and warms it up. If it gets too hot in the room, the thermostat adjusts and cools it down.
