Question: Block A has a mass m A and is attached to a spring having a stiffness k and unstretched length l 0 . If another

Block A has a mass mA and is attached to a spring having a stiffness k and unstretched length l0. If another block B, having a mass mB is pressed against A so that the spring deforms a distance d, show that for separation to occur it is necessary that d > 2μk g(mA+mB)/k, where μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the blocks and the ground. Also, what is the distance the blocks slide on the surface before they separate?wwwwwwwww A B
