A wood block of mass m rests on a larger wood block of mass M that rests

Question:

A wood block of mass m rests on a larger wood block of mass M that rests on a wooden table. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction between all surfaces are μs and μk, respectively. What is the minimum horizontal force, F, applied to the lower block that will cause it to slide out from under the upper block?
