Find friction coefficient such that block m does not slip.
Not what you're looking for?
On a frictionless table a block of mass M=1.75 kg is attached to a spring of negligible mass whose force constant k= 60 nt/m. Riding on top of M but not attached to it, is a block m= .65 kg. The blocks execute SHM with amplitude Xm= .25 m.
Find the minimum value of the coefficient of friction, u, between the two blocks, such that m remains in place. See ATTACHMENT for a diagram with parameters .
