A 5-kilogram block is fastened to a vertical spring that has aspring constant of 1,000 newtons per meter. A 3-kilogram blockrests on top of the 5-kilogram block. the blocks are nw pushed down and released so that they oscillate. Determine the magnitude of the maximum acceleration that the blocks can attain and still remain in contact at all times.
