A block of wood slides on a frictionless horizontal surface. It is attached to a spring and oscillates with a period of 0.8 s. A second block rests on top of the first. The coefficient of static friction between the two blocks is 0.25. If the amplitude of oscillations is 1.2 cm, will the block on the top slip? What is the greatest amplitude of oscillation for which the top block will not slip?

A 16.3-kg block rests on a horizontal table and is attached to one end of a massless, horizontal spring. By pulling horizontally on the other end of the spring, someone causes the block to accelerate uniformly and reach a speed of 5.99 m/s in 1.37 s. In the process, the spring is stretched by 0.180 m. The block is then pulled at a constant speed of 5.99 m/s, during which time the spring is stretched by only 0.0584 m. Find...

Block A rests on a horizontal tabletop. A light horizontal rope is attached to it and passes over a pulley, and block B is suspended from the free end of the rope. The light rope that connects the two blocks does not slip over the surface of the pulley (radius 0.080 m) because the pulley rotates on a frictionless axle. The horizontal surface on which block A (mass 3.30 kg) moves is frictionless. The system is released from rest, and...

If an object on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring, displaced, and then released, it oscillates. Suppose it is displaced 0.125 m from its equilibrium position and released with zero initial speed. After 0.860 s, its displacement is found to be 0.125 m on the opposite side and it has passed the equilibrium position once during this interval.Find the amplitude of the motion.=________________mFind the period of the motion.=________________sFind the frequency of the motion.=_________________Hz
