The two blocks, m = 16 kg and M = 88 kg, shown in Fig. are free to move. The coefficient of static friction be- tween the blocks is = 0.38, but the surface beneath M is frictionless. What is the minimum horizontal force F required to hold m against M?

Round off to two significant figures,
F = 490 N
Therefore, the minimum value of F for which the block with mass m can be held against the block of mass M is 490 N.
