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 > 2µkg(mA + mB )/k, where µkis 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?
