A block of mass M is placed on top of a hole in a horizontal table. A spring of force constant k is connected to the block through the hole. The other end of the massless spring has a particle of mass m connected to it. With what maximum amplitude can the particle oscillate up and down such that the block does not lose contact with the table?
