| Aug 19, 2019 at 8:53 | comment | added | Bob D | You might want to clarify that the friction force will only occur if block $M$ accelerates, which would require that the external force applied to $M$ exceeds the maximum static friction force between $M$ and the bottom surface | |

| Aug 19, 2019 at 8:42 | comment | added | user75659 | So when does pseudo force acts | |
