    A system of two blocks of masses m=2 kgm = 2\text{ }kg and M=8 kgM = 8\text{ }kg is placed on a smooth table as shown in figure. The coefficient of static friction between two blocks is 0.5. The maximum horizontal force FF that can be applied to the block of mass MM so that the blocks move together will be:
