A block of mass m₁ is stacked on a block of mass m₂ (where m₁ > m₂) on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between all contact surfaces is μs. Determine the maximum horizontal force that can be applied to the upper block, m₁, without it slipping on the lower block, m₂.

A

μsm₁g

B

μs(m₁-m₂)g
