Dear student,

Maximum applicable frictional force under 4kg block is4(0.3)(10)=12N

When 16 N force is applied, the frictional force reaches its limit. Then the tension in the string starts to increase to oppose the change in state of rest. Hence tension=16N-12N=4N

Hence the frictional force acting on 2kg block to prevent slipping= 4N
