The two blocks in the figureoscillate on a frictionless surface with a period of 1.5s. The upper block just begins to slip when the amplitude is increased to 38cm.

What is the coefficient of static friction between the two blocks?

Without seeing the figure or having a better description of the configuration, I have no idea what is going on, or why the blocks oscillate.
