Block $A$ of mass $2 \, kg$ is placed over block $B$ of mass $8 \, kg$. The combination is placed over a rough horizontal surface. The coefficient of friction between block $B$ and the floor is $0.5$. The coefficient of friction between blocks $A$ and $B$ is $0.4$. A horizontal force of $10 \, N$ is applied on block $B$. Find the force of friction between blocks $A$ and $B$. (Take $g = 10 \, ms^{-2}$)
