When the system shown in the diagram is in equilibrium, the right spring is stretched by 1 cm. The coefficient of static friction between the blocks is 0.3. There is no friction between the bottom block and the supporting surface. The force constants of the springs are 150 N m-1 and 450 N m-1. The blocks have equal mass of 2 kg. each.

Find the maximum amplitude (in cm) of the oscillations of the system shown in the figure that does not allow the top: block to slide on the bottom.
