Two blocks of masses mmm and M,(M>m)M,(M \gt m)M,(M>m), are placed on a frictionless table as shown in figure. A massless spring with spring constant k is attached with the lower block. If the system is slightly displaced and released then

(μ=\mu=μ= coefficient of friction between the two blocks)

JEE Main 2025 Physics, Oscillations — question figure

(A) The time period of small oscillation of the two blocks is T=2π( m+M)k\mathrm{T}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{(\mathrm{~m}+\mathrm{M})}{\mathrm{k}}}T=2πk( m+M)​​

(B) The acceleration of the blocks is a=kxM+m\mathrm{a}=\frac{\mathrm{kx}}{\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}}a=M+mkx​ (x=\mathrm{x}=x= displacement of the blocks from the mean position)

(C) The magnitude of the frictional force on the upper block is mμ∣x∣M+m\frac{m \mu|x|}{M+m}M+mmμ∣x∣​

(D) The maximum amplitude of the upper block, if it does not slip, is μ(M+m)gk\frac{\mu(M+m) g}{k}kμ(M+m)g​

(E) Maximum frictional force can be μ(M+m)g\mu(\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}) \mathrm{g}μ(M+m)g.
