I know that x_m = 2 x_M , so that the small block moves two times as much as the big block. My problem is decomposing the forces.

Figure attached below. You have a big block of mass M and a small block of mass m. When m=3kg, the acceleration of the large block is 0.6ms-2. When m=4kg, the acceleration of the large block is 1.6ms-2. The dynamic friction coefficient between the large block and the surface it slides on is μ...
