In the figure,the coefficient of friction between the floor and block $B$ is $\mu_1 = 0.2$ and between blocks $A$ and $B$ is $\mu_2 = 0.3$. The masses are $m_A = 20 \text{ kg}$ and $m_B = 40 \text{ kg}$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F$ that can be applied to block $B$ so that both blocks move together. (in $\text{ N}$)
