A 3.0-kg block sits on top of a 5.0-kg block which is on a horizontal surface. The 5.0-kg block is pulled to the right with a force F⃗ as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between all surfaces is 0.57 and the kinetic coefficient is 0.43. What is the minimum value of F needed to move the two blocks?

0.57 * (3*(3.0 kg * 9.8) + (5.0 kg * 9.8))
