Homework Statement
A table moves up and down in SHM of period 1 second. Find the amplitude it can have at which objects on the table just comence to lose contact with the table.
The Attempt at a Solution
How do I need to solve this problem? I'm only given the period from which I can work out only the frequency [tex]f[/tex] and angular frequency [tex]\omega[/tex].
I know that the position of a particle that exhibits simple harmonic motion is given by
[tex]x(t)=A cos (\omega t + \phi)[/tex]
And I know the maximum value cosine can have is 1. But this is all I know, I don't see how I can approach this problem. Any help here is very much appreciated.
