A force F is applied such that a ramp (m2) and a block (m1) have no motion between them (i.e. the block stays at the same location on the ramp not sliding up or down the ramp). All surfaces are frictionless.

A block of mass m is placed on an inclined plane with mass M, as shown. All surfaces are frictionless. You are asked to find the horizontal force F that needs to be applied to the inclined plane such that the block will remain stationary, and not slide up or down on the inclined surface. Express your answer using m, M, θ and g.
