Just realized I hadn't posted the actual question: What is the maximum force F that can be applied, before the 3M block slides off?

Three blocks (M, 2M, and 3M) are placed in contact on a horizontal frictionless surface. A constant force of magnitude F is applied to the box of mass M. There is friction between the surfaces of blocks 2M and 3M (μs = 0.26, μk = 0.15) so the three blocks accelerated together to the right. The...
