Two blocks ($m = 0.5\, kg$ and $M = 4.5\, kg$) are arranged on a horizontal frictionless table as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is $\frac{3}{7}$. Find the maximum horizontal force $F$ that can be applied on the larger block so that the blocks move together. (Round off to the nearest integer) [Take $g = 9.8\, m/s^2$]
