Answer: $F=\frac{(M+m)g}{\mu _s}$

Explanation:

Provided:

The trolley, with mass M, is allowed to roll freely without friction.

The coefficient of friction between the trolley and mass m is $\mu _s$ .

A force F is applied to mass m.

The acceleration of the system is

$a=\frac{F}{M+m}$

The frictional force will counterbalance the weight of the block.

The frictional force is $=\mu _sN$

$N=ma$

$\mu _sN=mg$

$\mu _sma=mg$

$\mu _s=\frac{g}{a}$

$F=\frac{(M+m)g}{\mu _s}$
