A block is on a piston, which executes simple harmonic motion in the vertical plane with a period of 1s. At what amplitude will the block and the piston separate? If the piston has an amplitude of 0.05m, what is the maximum frequency at which the black and piston will remain in contact continously?
[hint: the block and piston will separate when acceleration of piston = acceleration due to gravity.]

Correct Answer – 0.25m,2.23
