One block of 2·0 kg mass is placed on top of another block of 3·0 kg mass. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0·2. The bottom block is pulled with a horizontal force F such that both the blocks move together without slipping. Taking acceleration due to gravity as 10 m/s^2, the maximum value of the frictional force is :
