Answer (3)

Over the block will be (consider horizontal surface smooth)

Maximum valueof friction is f_{max}=\mu m_{A}g

f_{max}=0.6 \times2 \times10=12 \; N

Block B moves due to friction. Therefore

a_{max}=\frac{f_{max}}{m_{B}}=\frac{12}{2}=6\; m/s^{2}

Hence, F_{max}=\left ( m_{A}+m_{B} \right )a_{max}=4\times6=24\; N
