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?
