Chapter 14, Problem 14.90

(choose chapter or problem)

A child of mass m sits on top of a rectangular slab of massM = 35 kg, which in turn rests on the frictionless horizontalfloor at a pizza shop. The slab is attached to a horizontalspring with spring constant k = 430 N/m (the other end isattached to an immovable wall, Fig. 14-45). The coefficientof static friction between the child and the top of the slab isfx = 0.40. The shop owners intention is that, when displacedfrom the equilibrium position and released, the slab andchild (with no slippage between the two) execute SHM withamplitude A = 0.50 m. Should there bea weight restrictionfor this ride? If so,what is it?FIGURE 14-45 90.
