Q.

A block P of mass m is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. A block Q of same mass is placed over the block P and the coefficient of static friction between them is μs. A spring of spring constant K is attached to block Q. The blocks are displaced together to a distance A and released. The upper block oscillates without slipping over the lower block. The maximum frictional force between the block is

Detailed Solution

Angular frequency of system,

ω=Km+m=K2m

Maximum acceleration, amax=ω2A

Frictional force between P and Q = force exerted on lower block

=mω2A=mK2mA=KA2
