The Figure Shows Mass M₁ Resting on Top of Mass

The figure shows mass m₁ resting on top of mass m₂ which is attached to a spring with spring constant 10 N/m,where m₁ = m₂ = 20 g.The coefficient of static friction between the two masses is 0.6.The masses are oscillating with SMH on a frictionless surface.What is the maximum amplitude of oscillation without m₁ slipping off m₂?

A) 0.012 m
B) 0.024 m
C) 0.036 m
D) 0.048 m
E) 0.056 m
