Answer

The force on the block from the rope is $~~\frac{F~M}{M+m}$

Work Step by Step

We can find the acceleration of the rope and block: $F = (M+m)~a$ $a = \frac{F}{M+m}$ We can find $F_r$, the force on the block from the rope: $F_r = M~a$ $F_r = (M)~(\frac{F}{M+m})$ $F_r = \frac{F~M}{M+m}$ The force on the block from the rope is $~~\frac{F~M}{M+m}$
