Detailed Solution

Here the force applied should be such that the force on block of mass m should not exceed from the force of friction (µ1 m g). Let the system move with accelerationa. ThenF−μ2(M+m)g=(M+m)a   …(1)For block of mass m,F1=ma=μ1mg  or  a=μ1g   …(2)From eqs. (1) and (2), we getF=μ2(M+m)g+(M+m)μ1g =(M+m)g(μ1+μ2)
