The arrangement shown in the figure, the systme of masses `m_(1), m_(2)` and `m_(3)` is being pushed by a force F applied on `m_(1)` horizontally. In order to prevent the downwards slipping of `m_(2)` between `m_(1)` and `m_(3)` if coefficient of friction between `m_(2)` and `m_(3)` is `mu` and all the other surface are smooth, the minimum value of F `:`
