A system of two blocks of masses $\displaystyle \mathrm{m}=2 \mathrm{~kg}$ and $\displaystyle \mathrm{M}=8 \mathrm{~kg}$ 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 F that can be applied to the block of mass M so that the blocks move together will be :
