Given in the figure are two blocks $A$ and $B$ of weight $20\, N$ and $100\, N$, respectively. These are being pressed against a wall by a force $F$ such that the system does not slide as shown. If the coefficient of friction between the blocks is $0.1$ and between block $B$ and the wall is $0.15$, the frictional force applied by the wall on block $B$ is ........ $N$
