Problem 84GP
A block with mass M = 5.0 kg rests on a frictionless table and is attached by a horizontal spring (k = 130 N/m) to a wall. A second block, of mass m = 1.25 kg, rests on top of M. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.30. What is the maximum possible amplitude of oscillation such that m will not slip off M?

Problem 84GP
A block with mass M = 5.0 kg rests on a frictionless table and is attached by a horizontal spring (k = 130 N/m) to a wall. A second block, of mass m = 1.25 kg, rests on top of M. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.30. What is the maximum possible amplitude of oscillation such that m will not slip off M?
ANSWER:
Solution 84GP
Step 1 of 2
We are required to calculate the maximum amplitude of oscillation for the second block not to slip over the first block.
