Question
A block P of mass m is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Another block Q of same mass is kept on P and connected to the wall with the help of a spring of spring constant k as shown in the figure. µS is the coefficient of friction between P and Q. The blocks move together performing SHM of amplitude A. The maximum value of the friction force between P and Q is :
- kA
- kA/2
- Zero
- µSmg
The correct answer is: kA/2
