As shown in the figure,two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected to a spring of force constant $k$. The blocks are slightly displaced in opposite directions to $x_1$ and $x_2$ distances and released. If the system executes simple harmonic motion,then the angular frequency of oscillation of the system $(\omega)$ is:

Two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ $(M > m)$ are placed on a frictionless table as shown in the figure. $A$ massless spring with spring constant $k$ is attached to the lower block. If the system is slightly displaced and released,then ($\mu =$ coefficient of friction between the two blocks):
$(A)$ The time period of small oscillation of the two blocks is $T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M + m}{k}}$
$(B)$ The acceleration of the blocks is $a = \frac{kx}{M + m}$ ($x =$ displacement of the blocks from the mean position)
$(C)$ The magnitude of the frictional force on the upper block is $f = \frac{mkx}{M + m}$
$(D)$ The maximum amplitude of the upper block,if it does not slip,is $A = \frac{\mu mg(M + m)}{mk} = \frac{\mu g(M + m)}{k}$ (Wait,let's re-evaluate: $f_{max} = \mu mg$. Since $f = ma = m \cdot \frac{kx}{M+m}$,at max amplitude $A$,$m \cdot \frac{kA}{M+m} = \mu mg \implies A = \frac{\mu g(M+m)}{k}$)
$(E)$ Maximum frictional force can be $\mu mg$.
