Here $g=A \omega^{2}$

$\mathrm{A}=\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\omega^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{g}}{\left(\frac{2 \pi}{\mathrm{T}}\right)^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{gT}^{2}}{4 \pi^{2}}$

$A=\frac{10 \times 4}{4 \pi^{2}}=\frac{10}{\pi^{2}} \mathrm{m}$

    In the figure shown, there is friction between the blocks $P$ and $Q$ but the contact between the block $Q$ and lower surface is frictionless. Initially the block $Q$ with block $P$ over it lies at $x=0$, with spring at its natural length. The block $Q$ is pulled to right and then released. As the spring - blocks system undergoes $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$, the block $P$ tends to slip over $Q . P$ is more likely to slip at
